Residents of Washington state who purchased chicken or tuna products from certain companies may be eligible for a rebate of up to $120 as part of a major settlement. The state alleges that over 20 companies artificially inflated prices on canned tuna and chicken items, resulting in overpayments by consumers. The settlement distributes funds to low-income individuals making less than 175% of the federal poverty level, with single-person households receiving $50 and households with two or more individuals receiving $120.

A multimillion-dollar wage underpayment settlement, believed to be the largest in Australian history, will drive a shift in the culture of unpaid overtime for junior doctors.

The settlement recognizes the importance of fair compensation for the actual hours worked, marking a departure from the previous culture of underpayment and poor treatment. The NSW government has committed to address systemic cultural issues within the health system, including improving the work environment for junior doctors.
