Chipotle Mexican Grill has agreed to pay $240,000 to former employees of an Augusta, Maine restaurant as part of a settlement for violating federal labor laws. The settlement includes payments ranging from $5,800 to more than $21,000 each, as well as preferential hiring for other Maine locations. This is seen as a victory for workers' rights and a reminder to corporations that they must comply with federal labor laws and not retaliate against employees for attempting to unionize.
