华人线上超市Weee官司与和解接连不断：麻州86.5万美元、华盛顿特区9.5万美元和解，加州集体诉讼指控克扣配送员小费
北美华人消费者常用的线上亚洲超市 Weee 近年接连卷入劳工官司与监管和解：2025年8月，该公司与麻萨诸塞州总检察长达成逾86.5万美元和解；2026年8月，又与华盛顿特区总检察长以9.5万美元和解；在加州，配送员提起的集体诉讼仍在进行，指控公司克扣小费、将司机错误分类为独立承包商等。
Weee 是一家纯线上超市，自称「美国最大的线上亚洲超市」，为加州公司，运营主体包括 Weee! Inc.、Weee! Logistics LLC 与 Weee! OD Foods LLC，总裁为 Min Liu。
麻州一案：州总检察长 Andrea Joy Campbell 办公室2025年8月5日宣布，Weee 将配送司机错误分类为独立承包商，使其无法获得雇员法律保护，并违反《带薪病假法》未让员工依法累积和使用病假，也未提供工资单。和解金额逾86.5万美元，包括向160多名受影响司机支付的赔偿与罚款；Weee 同时同意在麻州将司机归类为雇员。该案调查源于华人进步会（Chinese Progressive Association）的投诉转介。2021年至2024年间为 Weee 送货的司机可能符合赔偿资格，可通过 [email protected] 联系州总检察长公平劳工处核对。
华盛顿特区一案：特区总检察长 Brian Schwalb 2026年8月宣布，Weee 同意支付9.5万美元，其中4.75万美元赔偿被错误分类的司机、4.75万美元为罚款，并同意将配送司机重新归类为雇员。特区方面指，该公司自2022年以来将至少95名司机错误分类，司机因此未获带薪病假与分段班次工资；合资格的现任与前任司机将由索赔管理员在90天内联系。Weee 在和解文件中否认相关指控，称公司一直遵守特区工时工资法律。
加州一案：2023年3月23日，配送司机 Yi "Sunny" Song 与 Xiangyang "James" Ji 等人通过 Sanford Heisler 律所提起集体诉讼，代表自2018年3月4日起在加州为 Weee 送货的时薪司机，指控公司克扣司机应得的小费（尽管公司向顾客宣称小费100%归司机）、错误分类司机身份、剥夺用餐与休息时间、对投诉的司机进行报复，并让司机在无培训、无防护装备的情况下接触干冰等危险材料，违反加州劳工法规与职业安全规定。诉讼同时依据加州《私人检察长法》（PAGA）提起，要求陪审团审判，目前仍在审理中，相关指控尚待法院认定。
此外，Weee 在2023年2月曾发生消费者数据泄露，消费者随后在纽约南区联邦法院提起集体诉讼（Jia 诉 Weee 案）；2025年2月，法官以缺乏管辖要件为由将案件驳回，但保留原告重新起诉的权利。

Chinese-Run Online Grocer Weee's String of Cases: $865,000 Massachusetts Settlement, $95,000 D.C. Settlement, and a California Class Action Alleging Withheld Tips
Weee, the online Asian supermarket widely used by Chinese consumers in North America, has faced a string of labor lawsuits and regulatory settlements in recent years: in August 2025 it reached a settlement of more than $865,000 with the Massachusetts attorney general; in August 2026 it settled with the District of Columbia attorney general for $95,000; and in California, a class action by delivery drivers accusing the company of withholding tips and misclassifying drivers remains pending.
Weee is an online-only supermarket that describes itself as "America's Largest Online Asian Supermarket." It is a California company whose operating entities include Weee! Inc., Weee! Logistics LLC and Weee! OD Foods LLC, with Min Liu as president.
In Massachusetts, Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell's office announced on August 5, 2025, that Weee had misclassified its delivery drivers as independent contractors, depriving them of employee protections, failed to let workers earn and use sick time as required by the Earned Sick Time Law, and failed to provide paystubs. The settlement of more than $865,000 includes restitution for more than 160 affected drivers and penalties, and Weee agreed to classify its Massachusetts drivers as employees. The investigation began with a complaint referral from the Chinese Progressive Association. Drivers who delivered for Weee between 2021 and 2024 may be entitled to payments and can contact the Attorney General's Fair Labor Division at [email protected] to check.
In Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb announced in August 2026 that Weee agreed to pay $95,000 — $47,500 in restitution to misclassified drivers and $47,500 in penalties to the District — and to reclassify its delivery drivers as employees. The District alleged that since 2022 the company had misclassified at least 95 drivers, who were denied paid sick leave and split-shift pay; eligible current and former drivers will be contacted by a claims administrator within 90 days. In the settlement agreement, Weee denied the allegations and maintained that it has complied with District wage-and-hour laws.
In California, delivery drivers Yi "Sunny" Song and Xiangyang "James" Ji filed a class action on March 23, 2023, through the law firm Sanford Heisler, on behalf of hourly delivery drivers in California dating back to March 4, 2018. The complaint alleges that Weee withheld portions of drivers' tip compensation despite telling customers that 100% of tips go to drivers, misclassified drivers, deprived them of meal and rest breaks, retaliated against drivers who complained, and exposed drivers to hazardous materials such as dry ice without training or safety equipment, in violation of California labor and workplace-safety laws. The case, brought in part under California's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), seeks a jury trial and remains pending; the allegations have yet to be adjudicated.
Separately, Weee suffered a consumer data breach in February 2023, after which customers brought a class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Jia v. Weee!). In February 2025, the judge dismissed the case without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, leaving the plaintiffs free to refile.
