Facts

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: Plaintiff contended she worked for defendants as an inspector/packer, which started in 2007. Plaintiff contended her primary duty encompassed quality control and she ensured that the packed products were placed on the production line.

Result

Defendants agreed to pay up to $411,000.
