Southwest Airlines is facing a $100 million class action lawsuit filed by baggage and cargo workers in New York. The lawsuit claims the airline violated the New York Labor Law and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by paying manual workers biweekly instead of weekly. Lead plaintiffs Richard Strain and David Garner argue the delayed payments cause financial hardship. The case involves over 100 workers seeking compensation, and could set a precedent for manual worker pay in the aviation industry.
