Wal-Mart Screws Its Employees

Under pressure from a class-action lawsuit in Massachusetts, Wal-Mart has agreed to pay employees $40,000,000 as partial restitution for stolen wages.

The Boston Globe mentions in its first paragraph that it's the largest such settlement in state history, but a settlement means a compromise, of course, so the stolen wages were probably far in excess of $40-million.

Yet nobody at Wal-Mart apologizes, admits wrongdoing, or goes to jail.

Same song different day.
