www.wlns.com/Global/story.asp A California jury has ordered Wal-mart to pay 172-million dollars for denying lunch breaks to thousands of its employees. The money goes to 116,000 current and former California employees. The class-action suit is the first of about 40 nationwide to go to trial. A lawyer for the giant retailer says Wal-mart will probably appeal California's decision.
