Should Amazon pay warehouse workers while they wait for security screenings? Philadelphia Supreme Court will decide

Amazon's immense multi-level warehouse called a fulfillment center in Kent, Washington. The plaintiffs said the security checks, aimed at preventing theft, could take up to 20 minutes after they clocked out. Workers in Nevada who had brought a similar case said it could take up to 25 minutes to complete a screening, during which workers passed through a metal detector and waited in a second line to get searched with a metal-detecting wand. — Seattle Times/TNS
