Correction:
$78 M not $178 M Wal Mart must pay Pennsylvania
workers $78 Million for being forced to work during rest breaks: “One of Wal-Mart's undisclosed
secrets for its profitability is its creation and implementation of a system
that encourages off-the-clock work for its hourly employees. A lawyer for the plaintiffs, Michael Donovan, said he would seek an extra $62m in damages
because the jury had found that Wal-Mart acted in bad faith. The jury found
that the retailer had not denied the staff their meal breaks - but only rest
breaks. In December, a California court
ruled Wal-Mart must pay $172m in compensation to 116,000 employees who had been
denied meal breaks.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6050022.stm A Pennsylvania judge ruled that Wal Mart must pay $178 Million in back wages to
employees who were forced to work on their rest breaks. |
