LAS VEGAS, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Over three million Wal-Mart hourly employees who worked in 30 states had their request for Final Approval of an $85 million dollar settlement approved by United States District Court Judge Phillip Pro today. The settlement class is the largest for wage and hour cases in United States history. Robert Bonsignore, the employees national Lead Counsel said, "Today is a good day for all Wal-Mart employees. In addition to the guaranteed $85 million, there is a real ongoing value because of the injunctive relief.
