		<description><![CDATA[Last week we posted a settlement of a lawsuit against Loto-Québec, for an undisclosed sum of money—but it will reportedly be in the multi-million dollar range—somewhere between $50 million and $700 million—quite a spread by anybody&#8217;s standards.

The Tyson Chicken proposed settlement could also give the plaintiffs&#8217; attorneys $3 million in fees and court costs. Not.

Employment class actions, comprised of allegations of unpaid overtime and wages and violations of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) were among the most commonly filed lawsuits.
