Mail Carriers Can’t Bring OT Suit Against USPS In New Jersey

A Federal judge in New Jersey dismissed the USPS overtime‑deduction lawsuit because the plaintiffs failed to show that any alleged violations actually occurred in New Jersey, leaving the court without personal jurisdiction. The dismissal is without prejudice, and the workers have 30 days from Feb. 2, 2026 to refile with proper location‑specific allegations.

1. Core Allegation
• Four City Carrier Assistants claimed USPS automatically deducted 30‑minute meal breaks even when they worked through them.
• They argued this violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
