Philadelphia Judge Awards Wal-Mart Workers $62M More


Posted on Nov 10, 2007

“A Philadelphia judge has awarded an additional $62 million in statutory liquidated damages to 124,506 current and former Pennsylvania employees of retail titan Wal-Mart who a Philadelphia jury found were not properly compensated for off-the-clock work and missed rest breaks. Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Mark I. Bernstein, who presided over the 2006 trial in Hummel v. Wal-Mart and Braun v. Wal-Mart, Wednesday awarded $62,253,000 to the plaintiffs who worked after Jan. 1, 2002. The 12-member jury last year awarded $78.5 million in compensatory damages to 186,000 current and former employees of the retailer. The rest of the class did not qualify for statutory damages because of the time frame in which they worked.” Amaris Elliott-Engel, The Legal Intelligencer, Law.com 10/4/07
