A San Bernardino County jury has awarded a former Walmart truck driver $34.7 million, based on what that same jury said was the company’s false accusations against him that he had engaged in fraud and was faking the severity of injuries he suffered after he was rear-ended while making a delivery for the retail giant.
The substantial award, what some in the courthouse on November 19 called exorbitant, came after the jury determined that the company falsely accused the driver of fraud, then firing him while he was on injury leave.
Jesus Fonseca was employed for 14 years as a truck driver for Walmart, operating for most of that time out of the Apple Valley Distribution Center. In 2017, while operating one of Walmart’s trucks on I-15, Fonseca was rear-ended by another semi-truck. Fonseca was put on medical leave the day following the accident. After a relatively short time while he was on injury leave, he attempted, according to his lawyers, to return to work for Walmart, but was unable, to engage in “commercial driving” and further disallowed to engage in “pushing, pulling, bending, stooping and lifting over 5-10 pounds.” Continue reading →

Primo Brands Corporation earlier this month consummated the merger of Primo Water Corporation and an affiliate of BlueTriton Brands, Inc., the bottler of Arrowhead Spring Water and more than a half dozen other drinking water products, creating what has been dubbed Primo Brands.

With the 2024 election concluded and three new members of the San Bernardino City Council scheduled to be seated next month, a move is on to elevate the county seat’s acting city manager, Rochelle Clayton, to full-fledged managerial status.
Leading the effort to lock Clayton into place for a likely duration of no less than three years and perhaps as many as five are Mayor Helen Tran and Sixth Ward Councilwoman Kimberly Calvin.
There is something of an imperative to move rapidly ahead with such a promotion – which has already been discussed in closed sessions of the council twice – prior to the departure of three of the current council members: Calvin, Fifth Ward Councilman Ben Reynoso and Seventh Ward Councilman Damon Alexander. This is because Tran and Calvin need to add three votes to their own to make the appointment and it is believed that the familiarity the existing members of the council have with Clayton based on her performance in the interim role she was appointed to in May boosts the prospect that the crucial three votes to permanentize her as the city’s top administrator can be harvested from the council as it is now composed.
If a vote on Clayton’s promotion is delayed or postponed until after Kim Knaus, Mario Flores and Treasure Ortiz, the three new council members who are to replace Reynoso, Calvin and Alexander, respectively, are sworn in, there is a chance, indeed a likelihood, that the vote on the appointment will be delayed further. At least two of those three council members-elect – Knaus and Flores – have little previous exposure and experience with Clayton, and would probably want and need several months of seeing her in action before being prepared to make a decision on whether the city should extend her a contract that would commit the city to keeping her for several years’ duration and require that she receive a substantial severance payout if the council were to terminate her prior to the contract’s expiration. Based upon statements she has made, Ortiz appears to be favorably disposed toward Clayton. Continue reading →
