Wal-Mart Overtime Trial Begins

By: Import User
Updated: January 7, 2009
Testimony opened today in the Wal-Mart unpaid overtime damages trial in Portland, Oregon, with a federal judge overruling repeated objections from the attorney for the retail giant. However, the judge later warned a witness to answer the attorney`s questions. Today`s testimony follows a 2002 decision by a federal jury in Portland that found Wal-Mart guilty of violating state and federal labor laws. It was the first such ruling in the nation after Wal-Mart had settled similar lawsuits alleging unpaid overtime before the complaints could go to trial. Posted by Mike Hellgren
