Wal-Mart Hit by Lawsuit Over Temp Agency Overtime Hours

Wal-Mart is being hit by yet another lawsuit, as a proposed class-action suit was filed Monday alleging that the world's largest retailer and its staffing agencies broke federal minimum wage and overtime laws. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court of Illinois' Eastern Division, claims that Wal-Mart and its staffing firms, Labor Ready and QPS, required temp workers in the Chicago area to arrive early for work, stay late, and work through lunches and breaks without pay.
