Minn. judge rules against Wal-Mart on work breaks
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 at 10:47am EST
MINNEAPOLIS

A Minnesota judge ruled that Wal-Mart cut short employees' rest and meal breaks and forced them to work off the clock, violating the state's labor laws 2 million times.

The judge's order in the class-action lawsuit against the discount retailer awards the plaintiffs $6.5 million in compensatory damages.

An attorney for the plaintiffs expects Wal-Mart will pay much more than that after a jury in October considers a civil penalties and punitive damages.

Justin Perl, who represented the plaintiffs, says Dakota County Judge Robert King Jr.'s ruling sends a message to Wal-Mart that the company must pay for its mistakes.

The ruling, which was handed to the parties Monday evening, comes after similar judgments against Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania and California . Wal-Mart is appealing those rulings.

Wal-Mart did not immediately comment.

 

Just a little info on the wounderful management at Wal-Mart

On the other hand, you could say that out of the 15 or 20 people reading this board, 3 is a pretty high number.  Eh?
