A jury has just ordered Walmart to pay at least $78 million for violating Pennsylvania state labor laws.
Wal-Mart forced employees “to work through rest breaks and off the clock.” (It did not deny workers their meal breaks, though, the jury decided.)
This class-action suit involves 187,000 current and former employees who worked at Walmart and Sam’s Clubs in Pennsylvania from March 1998 through May 2006.
