SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Walmart has agreed to pay $ 65 million to settle a claim that it has not provided seats to its California cashiers.
The Los Angeles Times claims that Walmart denies having committed a wrongdoing in the draft regulation filed this week in federal court in San Francisco.
If approved by a judge, the deal would end a nearly 10-year-old lawsuit and affect some 100,000 former Walmart cashiers.
The lawsuit alleged that Walmart had violated a 2001 California order that workers should be allocated seats when the nature of the work "reasonably" permits.
In the settlement, Walmart always says that it is not the case for its cashiers, who must greet customers and store the shelves.
However, under the regulations, Walmart is accepting a pilot program to provide cashiers with cashiers in California.
