Wal-Mart allegedly worked employees without pay, again

Two former Hilo Wal-Mart employees have filed a class action lawsuit against all Hawaii Wal-Marts, alleging the company shaved time from its employees time cards from 1997 to 2004.
The lawsuit states there is a videotaped admission of a Wal-Mart executive and Wal-Mart memoranda, showing that Wal-Mart deleted thousands of hours of time worked from employees' payroll records, resulting in millions of dollars of labor savings.
"They've been doing this across the country from what we understand. There have been other suits filed in other jurisdictions," says Arthur Park, plaintiff's attorney.
