PITTSBURGH – A class action lawsuit brought on behalf of workers at Shell Oil Company alleges that the employees in question did not receive time-and-a-half compensation when they worked overtime hours.
Robert J. Merryman of Beaver Falls filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Oct. 15 versus Global Scaffold Construction Services, Inc. and Christopher Fannin, of Walker, La.
“Defendants were contracted by the Shell Oil Company, Great Arrow Builders LLC, their related corporate entities, and/or agents for the purpose of providing construction services in connection with the construction of the Pennsylvania Petrochemical Complex – a major construction project in Western Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Petrochemical Complex is more commonly referred to as the ‘Shell Cracker Plant’ and upon completion will operate for the purpose of converting natural gas into ethylene for use in plastics manufacturing. Defendants have employed more than 600 employees for purposes of providing services in connection with the construction of the Shell Cracker Plant,” the suit says.
