A federal agency has accused Menard Inc. of violating labor law in a case involving delivery drivers, a union official who initially sought the investigation into the retailer’s practices said.

According to Seth Goldstein, senior business representative with the Office & Professional Employees International Union, the National Labor Relations Board has issued a complaint alleging that Menards has improperly classified its drivers as independent contractors rather than employees.

The agency also accuses the Eau Claire-based firm of violating federal labor law by prohibiting drivers from filing class action lawsuits or NLRB charges against Menards, according to a copy of the complaint provided by Goldstein.
