NEWARK, New Jersey -- Workers recently arrested in federal raids have filed a racketeering lawsuit accusing Wal-Mart of conspiring with contractors in a criminal enterprise that violated the civil rights and wage protections of immigrants who cleaned its U.S. stores. The federal lawsuit seeks class-action status for perhaps thousands of immigrants, legal and illegal, hired by the contractors to clean Wal-Mart stores, said a lawyer for the workers, James Linsey.
