Wal-Mart Workers Seek Millions More After Big Win, Wal-Mart To Appeal - 10/16/06

By Doug Cunningham

Wal-Mart workers are going for another $68 million after winning $78.5 million from Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania Friday. A jury found that Wal-Mart violated labor laws by forcing workers to work off the clock for no pay and through breaks. Wal-Mart says it will appeal, but the workers are also going after the extra millions because the jury also found that Wal-Mart acted in bad faith. A California jury last year awarded workers $172 million for 116,000 workers who got cheated out of meal breaks by Wal-Mart.
