Wal-Mart Cashiers Ask Judge to Bar Threats to Workers in which Wal-Mart tries to intimidate its employees into signing statements that they were never forced to work overtime without pay. Nice, huh?

Wal-Mart managers asked employees to turn over the notices and sign statements that they never worked off the clock as the suit claims, according to court papers. The cashiers asked U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent to order Wal-Mart to stop ``improper communications'' with workers. A hearing on the request is set for Aug. 23.
