Freon Logistics, a Bakersfield, California-based trucking company, has filed for bankruptcy, and some employees protested recently to demand unpaid wages.
Freon Logistics employs about 500 people, including truck drivers, administrative personnel and others, according to court records. It’s unclear if Freon’s associated companies — Freon Group, Freon Trucking, Freon Cold Storage or Freon Garage — are impacted by the filing.
Earlier this week, Freon Logistics based in Bakersfield, Calif., filed for bankruptcy protection. Media reports say the abrupt filing surprised employees, left them waiting for paychecks and stranded many.
A TikTok video report from Bravo Street Media posted on the Kern County Activities account shows drivers protesting at the offices of Freon Logistics.
The drivers complained of not being paid for weeks, according to the video. Some claimed they were owed thousands of dollars, up to $17,000. The report said drivers were stranded on the road with their company equipment and fuel cards not working.
