On the heels of a $40 million settlement with its Massachusetts employees regarding wage-and-hour violations, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. now finds itself hit with another class-action lawsuit.
According to Workers Independent News, Wal-Mart warehouse workers in Chicago have announced a class-action lawsuit asserting that the hiring of workers from temporary staffing agencies is, in effect, stealing their wages.
It was only a year ago that Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world, agreed to pay $640 million to settle 63 wage-and-hour lawsuits, which was quickly followed earlier this year by a $54 million settlement in Minnesota and then a $172 million settlement in California.
