Foot Locker settles workers shoes suit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
A state appeals court approved a $1.3 million settlement Friday to 18,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 employees of stores in California who were required to wear athletic shoes to work each day.
The settlement also resolved the employees' claim that they were denied pay for time spent undergoing a security inspection by a manager when they entered and left the store. Foot Locker will pay an additional $500,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 to the employees' lawyers.
The class-action suit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], filed in San Francisco in 2005,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], accused the sports footwear chain of illegally depriving California employees of pay by requiring them to buy and wear shoes of a type that were sold at Foot Locker. The company did not reimburse employees for the cost,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which averaged just under $50,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the court.
The claims of unpaid security inspections were added in 2006. The plaintiffs and Foot Locker negotiated a settlement with the help of a mediator in 2007,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but objections by a small number of employees delayed court approval for several years.
Although the potential damage award was considerably higher,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Judge ruled in August 2011 that the settlement was a reasonable compromise because it was uncertain that the suit would succeed. If the case had gone to trial,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a jury might conclude that the shoes were part of "a normal worker's wardrobe" rather than a uniform mandated by the employer.
