Walmart (WMT)

In the largest settlement for a wage-and-hour class-action lawsuit in Massachusetts history, Wal-Mart agreed to pay $40 to all employees who worked for Massachusetts Wal-Mart locations between August 1995 and the settlement date.
The 2001 class-action lawsuit claimed Wal-Mart did not allow workers to have rest and meal breaks, refused to pay overtime wages, and even manipulated employees' time cards to lower their pay. The settlement will pay 87,500 former and current Massachusetts employees and payment will be determined by how many years an employee worked there. The average employee will receive around $734. However, neither party is allowed to comment about the issue.
