Larry Liner v. Workers Temporary Staffing, Inc.
Case Number(s):
SC07-1470

Transcript:

Summary:

Mr. Liner, a day laborer, filed a class-action lawsuit against Workers Temporary Staffing. The suit alleged the company violated a state law that limits how much labor pools can charge workers for transportation to work sites. The company argued the law violated its due process rights. The trial court found that the law was unconstitutionally vague and its damages provision unconstitutionally excessive. It also found that Mr. Liner did not have a sufficient claim for liability against Workers Temporary Staffing. The Fourth District Court of Appeal upheld the ruling that the law was unconstitutionally vague but did not decide the other issues. This appeal followed.
