May 11 (UPI) -- A federal judge this week ruled Wells Fargo must pay a $97 million in damages to California employees who weren't paid enough for their breaks.
The fine comes after Wells Fargo's mortgage bankers and consultants in California filed a class action lawsuit against the company for violating the state's labor laws. U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson ruled in favor of the employees in January, but the $97 million amount is significantly less than the nearly $400 million amount the plaintiffs sought, CNN Money reported.
