July 1, 2008 StarTribune.com By H.J. CUMMINS Wal-Mart Stores Inc. broke Minnesota labor law more than 2 million times over six years, routinely forcing some employees to work off the clock through lunch and rest breaks, a Dakota County judge has ruled. The violations were willful, said District Judge Robert King in a ruling Monday in Hastings. They could bring a penalty of up to $1,000 per violation, which could mean a $2 billion fine for the world's largest retailer. A jury will decide the size of the penalty during the second phase of the trial, expected to begin Oct. 20. Wow what a story! To check out the rest of the Star Tribune's coverage click here.
