Levi Strauss & Co. has opted out of a $20-million settlement approved this week to compensate garment workers on the Pacific island of Saipan, the San Francisco-based company said.
A judge at the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands approved a settlement after alleged rights violations involving several U.S. retailers, including Gap Inc. and J.C. Penney Co.
The lawsuit alleged violations of wage and hour laws and other workers’ rights at garment factories in Saipan.
