This is quite a victory. Such cases pique my interest since I used to be a labor leader: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/walmart-pay-65-million-settle-lawsuit-over-seating-121125464--finance.html
Good! Telling cashiers they have to stand all day because stools are a safety hazard seems a bit fatuous. Have many Wal-Mart cashers died falling off their stools? I'm pleased that common sense prevailed. (My recollection is that just about every supermarket and bank I've been in other countries had seated cashiers.)
you are correct on you recollection. It works well for them, and they have less workmen's comp cases.
