MINNEAPOLIS — Supervlau here has reportedly agreed to pay $15 million to settle a class-action lawsuit by Albertsons employees who quit, retired or were fired between 1996 and 2004 — before Supervalu acquired the company — but did not receive their final paychecks. The suit included employees at Albertsons, as well as Lucky Stores and Sav-on drug stores, both of which Albertsons purchased in 1998. Members of the class will get up to $350 each, depending on their final pay scale, with half the payment in cash and half in merchandise cards, pending approval later this year of the settlement by a Los Angeles judge. Supervalu executives could not be reached for comment.
