Wal-Mart Will Pay Workers Tens Of Millions In Unpaid Overtime - 01/26/07

Wal-Mart will pay more than $33 million dollars in unpaid overtime wages to workers. Jesse Russell reports:

The decision by Wal-Mart to pay more than $33 million in wages owed to workers came after the company went to the Labor Department in 2005 asking for a review of overtime calculations. The company says it had found small mistakes in overtime calculations, not from lawsuits tied to alleged payroll violations. The settlement that the world's largest retailer reached with the labor department includes no fines or penalties. In late 2006 workers in Pennsylvania won a $78.5 million dollar lawsuit after court found evidence that the company had forced them to work off the clock and through break periods.
