Sara Lee Foods to Pay $3.5M to Settle Race Bias Suits From Law.com: "Chicago-based Sara Lee Foods has agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle 139 separate discrimination lawsuits brought by black workers at a Sara Lee subsidiary who said they were the victims of racially biased employment policies. The workers were forced to file separate lawsuits after a judge refused to certify a class action brought by nine black workers at the Hygrade Food Products plant in Philadelphia." It would be too easy to say something using the famous Sara Lee advertising slogan.  I won't do that, but I will note that if there were only nine workers affected then I guess it shouldn't have been a class action. 4:11:20 PM

Okay let's get ready to RUMBBLLE....with www.BigClassAction.com From  PR Web - Legal: "In response to the over 5,000 people that have registered crime, fraud, and damages from defective products, at www.bigclassaction.com, a new legal portal has been launched today at www.worldjustice.com, where hundreds of legal resources are available for easy and convenient access by lawyers and by the public." This is just what we need, a resource to help spur more class action lawsuits... 1:36:38 PM
