BELLEVILLE — A class action lawsuit filed against Illinois Central Bus alleges the defendant illegally collected and stored employee's fingerprint scans.
Rebecca Luecking and Tracey Meyer, on behalf of themselves and other persons similarly situated, filed a complaint Dec. 29 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Illinois Central School Bus LLC, alleging violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
The class action alleges that within the past five years, the plaintiffs worked for Central School Bus and were required to scan their fingerprints in order to clock in and out of work at job sites. The plaintiffs allege their fingerprints were recorded, collected and stored in violation of BIPA. They claim they did not give consent for their biometric data to be collected and stored.
