SuperValu, Inc. Lawsuit


$15 million settlement reached in employment class action lawsuit.


SuperValu, Inc. reaches $15 million settlement in employment class action lawsuit.

Los Angeles, CA: (Jun-13-08) SuperValu, Inc., which now owns Albertson's, Lucky Stores and Sav-on Drug Stores, has agreed to pay $15 million in a settlement reached on behalf of nearly 200,000 former employees. The lawsuit, originally filed by the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 324 in September of 2000, alleged the employers did not properly pay employees for accrued vacation hours, and did not pay terminated employees on their last day on the job. California Labor Code requires companies to pay terminated employees final wages on the last day of employment, or within 72 hours of resignation,including accrued vacation pay.

As part of the settlement reached, almost 200,000 former California employees will share the $15 million, which will be paid partly in cash, and partly in Albertson’s store credit. The 11 named plaintiffs will receive up to $10,000 and $3.5 million in attorneys' fees and costs to plaintiffs' counsel, and will be paid out of a separate fund. A final hearing will be held August 18 to give final approval to the settlement.
