Fred Furth won a $172 million award two years ago for Wal-Mart employees who weren't paid for meal breaks. But in a suit filed Tuesday, a lawyer who worked at his firm for five years accuses him of cheating her and others out of promised bonuses. Carolyn Burton says she accepted a below-market salary because she was led to believe she'd be in line to earn bonuses of 3 percent to 5 percent of the firm's annual profits. Instead, she claims that in most years, she received either a modest bonus or none at all.
