SAN DIEGO (AP) — A judge awarded $10 million to newspaper carriers and their lawyers in a lawsuit against the former owner of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Superior Court Judge John S. Meyer ruled last month that about 1,200 carriers who delivered papers from 2005 through mid-2007 were employees entitled to reimbursement for their car mileage and other expenses — not independent contractors who had to cover their own costs, according to court documents.
