This case is about a class of female United Parcel Service (UPS) workers who alleged the company engaged in widespread and pervasive sex-based discrimination over a number of years.

On November 9, 2021, a group of private plaintiffs filed this putative class action against UPS and an individual UPS manager in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs were women employed at UPS, including supervisors, sorters, drivers, loaders, and associates located in California, Arkansas, Washington, and Nevada. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiffs brought claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e) et seq.; the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b); the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Cal. Gov. Code § 12940, et seq.; the California Equal Pay Act, Cal. Lab. Code § 1197.5, et seq.; and the California Business and Professions Code, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq. The complaint broadly alleged that the company tolerated and cultivated a work environment that discriminated against female employees and denied them equal pay for equal work. The specific factual allegations varied across plaintiffs, but generally articulated a disparate treatment theory of discrimination in which women were paid less than similarly situated men, given less desirable work than their male counterparts, and not offered workplace accommodations that male colleagues received. Plaintiffs sought class certification of a class of women employees; injunctive relief against the practices alleged; back pay, front pay, and benefits compensation of no less than $100 million; compensatory damages of no less than $100 million, and punitive damages of no less than $50 million. The case was assigned to District Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton.

After a stay lasting nearly a year, the plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint on October 7, 2022. The amended complaint added 15 new named plaintiffs, numerous additional factual allegations against UPS, and added a civil RICO claim—18 U.S.C. § 1964— along with a claim alleging an ongoing violation under the Lilly Ledbetter Act. The RICO claim alleged that UPS consistently committed wage theft against the plaintiffs, which they claimed was a racketeering activity under the meaning of the statute. The Lilly Ledbetter Act allows plaintiffs to recover back pay for up to two years prior to the discovery of an ongoing gender-based denial of equal pay for equal work.

Defendants moved to dismiss the first amended complaint on December 8, and after a hearing, Judge Hamilton granted the motion with leave to amend on December 13, 2022. The court’s ruling stated that the plaintiffs’ first amended complaint lacked sufficient clarity to tell whether the alleged facts formed a basis to sustain the claims. The court gave the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint, but dismissed with prejudice the RICO claim and the action against an individual defendant, while noting that the Lily Ledbetter Act does not form the basis of a standalone claim, but rather extends the statute of limitations under the Equal Pay Act. Finally, the order laid out the necessary elements of each of the surviving claims, essentially informing the plaintiffs what they needed to allege in their subsequent amended complaint. In a separate order, Judge Hamilton asked the parties to resolve an ambiguity about whether they had stipulated to the addition of the 15 additional plaintiffs or whether the plaintiffs would need to make a separate motion to make the addition. 2022 WL 17652798. The parties stipulated to the addition of plaintiffs on December 15, 2022.

On January 23, 2023, the plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint. The second amended complaint added factual allegations regarding the alleged discriminatory treatment each of the 18 total named plaintiffs faced as employees at UPS. It also clarified that it brought both disparate treatment and disparate impact claims under Title VII. UPS moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on February 24, 2023 for failure to exhaust administrative remedies and failure to state a claim. UPS also moved to strike all of plaintiffs’ class claims.

On April 20, 2023, Judge Hamilton granted the motion to dismiss with regard to the 15 late-added plaintiffs and struck the class claims. The three original plaintiffs’ claims survived. Regarding the later plaintiffs and the putative class, the court held that they had not exhausted their administrative remedies as required by Title VII. To bring an employment discrimination suit in federal court under Title VII, a plaintiff must first file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the analogous state agency and receive a right to sue letter. The three original plaintiffs satisfied this requirement prior to the commencement of the original lawsuit, but the late-filing plaintiffs did not file an EEOC charge until January 2023. The court noted that unnamed class members and late-filing plaintiffs need not exhaust their administrative remedies if their claims could arise out of the original administrative charges sufficient to give notice to the defendant. The court found, however, that later plaintiffs’ factual allegations and the class allegations in the second amended complaint were not reasonably related to the initial complaints filed with the EEOC. The court pointed out that there were significant factual dissimilarities between the three original plaintiffs and the later plaintiffs, and dismissed their claims accordingly. 2023 WL 3047388.

While the lawsuit continued as to the three original plaintiffs, the court also dismissed their claims of disparate impact discrimination and the state and federal Equal Pay Act claims for two of the three plaintiffs. The court held that the allegations necessary to make out a disparate impact claim—that is, a facially neutral policy that leads to differential outcomes based on their gender—were not alleged in the original EEOC charge, and the original plaintiffs had therefore failed to exhaust their administrative remedies. The plaintiffs’ state and federal disparate treatment claims survived, as did their California unlawful business practices claims. 2023 WL 3047388.

The defendants filed their answer to the plaintiffs’ claims on May 18, 2023, and the case proceeded to discovery.

As of October 4, 2023, the case is in discovery and set for trial on September 30, 2024.
