I'm Arlo Uriarte from Liberation Law Group. San Leandro matters to me because my people work here. Not in offices with ping pong tables, but in warehouses without air conditioning. Not with stock options, but with broken backs and stolen wages. I know every industrial parkway, every warehouse, every danger.

Expanded Frequently Asked Questions - San Leandro

Why are there so many injuries in San Leandro warehouses?

San Leandro = real warehouse capital:

• Cheaper land than Oakland/SF
• Perfect access to freeways
• Close to port and airport
• Desperate workforce

Warehouses designed for packages, not people. Each one is an injury factory.

Is it different to sue Walmart or FedEx vs small employers?

Big = more money BUT more resistance:

• Mandatory arbitration (we can fight)
• Teams of lawyers (we're not scared)
• "Independent contractor" defense (we know how to win)
• Resources to resolve the case

When a staffing agency and a host company are both involved, each can be liable as a joint employer.

What if I work for a staffing agency, not directly?

90% of warehouse workers are "temps" - it's a scam:

• Joint employer doctrine applies
• If they control your work = responsible
• We sue BOTH companies
• More defendants = more money

Are warehouse quotas legal?

NO if:

• They cause injuries
• They prevent bathroom breaks
• They require unsafe speed
• They violate meal/rest periods

AB 701 makes them explicitly illegal. Violations = large penalties.

Why do Mi Pueblo and other Latino markets exploit Latinos?

Our own people exploiting us - the betrayal hurts more:

• They assume you won't sue "la raza"
• They pay cash to avoid records
• They use culture ("familia") as an excuse
• More credible threats (they know your situation)

But the law has no cultural exceptions. I sue them anyway.

What if I get injured at Walmart but the doctor says I'm fine?

Company doctors ALWAYS say that:

• Paid by employer
• Incentive to deny
• Phantom "light duty"
• Second opinion is your right

We have real doctors who document the truth.

Can I sue if I signed papers in English that I didn't understand?

YES. California requires documents in your language:

• If you primarily speak Spanish
• Employer knew or should have known
• Agreements in English = potentially void
• It is additional evidence of discrimination

How much are cases worth in San Leandro industrial vs office?

Industrial typically MORE:

• More severe injuries
• Greater jury sympathy
• More obvious violations
• Clear safety standards

Office discrimination more subtle but also valuable.
