One of the America's largest Chinese-language newspapers has been ordered to pay $5.2m (£2.6m) to past and current employees who were forced to work 12-hour days without breaks or overtime pay. The Chinese Daily News, based in Los Angeles and New York, has been fighting off the case since 2004, when three former reporters filed a class-action lawsuit. It grew to include 200 staff. They won a jury verdict last year. But the paper will now appeal. (Via LA Times)
