Arrested Workers File RICO Suit Against Wal-Mart

The federal court lawsuit seeks class-action status for perhaps thousands of immigrants, legal and illegal, hired by the contractors to clean the stores of the world's largest retailer, said a lawyer for the plaintiffs, James L. Linsey. Posted by Editor at November 11, 2003 10:29 AM
