If you worked for RadioShack Corporation (“RadioShack” or “Defendant”) at a kiosk located within a Target retail store in California at any time between September 21, 2009 and April 30, 2013, you may be entitled to a money payment from a proposed class action settlement.

Summary of the Case This case is called Becerra, et al. v. RadioShack Corporation (United States District Court for the Northern District of California Case No. 11-cv-03586-YGR). Plaintiffs principally contend that Defendant violated California Labor Code §§ 2802 and 2698, et seq., Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Order 7-2001 (“Wage Order 7”), and Business & Professions Code §§ 17200, et seq., by requiring employees who worked for Defendant at kiosks located within Target retail stores in California to wear “Dockers-style” chino or twill pants or skirts in traditional khaki color without providing the clothing items or reimbursing employees for the cost of purchase. Plaintiffs also contend that Defendant violated Labor Code §§ 1198 and 2698, et seq. and Wage Order 7 by failing to provide employees with suitable seats. RadioShack denies all liability for these claims and contends that its employment practices complied with applicable state laws at all times. RadioShack has asserted a number of factual and legal defenses to Plaintiffs’ claims. Nonetheless, without admitting any liability and in the interest of resolving this dispute, RadioShack has agreed to this settlement. The Court has made no ruling on the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims or RadioShack’s defenses. However, the Court has preliminarily approved the proposed settlement. The Court will decide whether to give final approval to the settlement at a hearing scheduled for March 18, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 1 of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, located at 1301 Clay Street, Second Floor, Oakland, California 94612. Benefits of the Settlement – What You May Get Each Class Member who does not opt-out will receive automatically a settlement payment of $50. You do not need to do anything further to receive the $50 settlement payment. If the settlement receives final approval, all Class Members will receive a $50 settlement payment automatically. In addition to the automatic payment of $50, each Class Member who does not opt-out shall have an opportunity to submit receipts or other proof that they purchased more than two pairs of “Dockers-style” chino or twill pants or skirts in traditional khaki color while employed by RadioShack at a kiosk located within a Target retail store in California between September 21, 2009 through April 30,2013 and spent more than $50 for those items. Class Members who submit a Claim Form 2 and can provide those receipts or other proof of purchase will receive an additional payment equal to the amount over $50 that the Class Member spent on those eligible clothing items. These Claim Forms must be postmarked no later than February 3, 2014. In the unlikely event that the total amount of all payments to Class Members would exceed $320,000, the additional payments will be reduced on a pro rata basis so the total payments do not exceed $320,000. Release As part of the settlement, Class members who do not opt-out will give up certain claims against RadioShack for the period September 21, 2009 through April 30, 2013. The complete statement of release contained in the settlement agreement is reproduced below. Upon entry of the final approval order and judgment, each Class Member who has not submitted a valid request for exclusion releases Defendant and its present and former affiliates, parent companies, and subsidiaries, and their respective shareholders, officers, partners, directors, employees, agents, trustees, representatives, attorneys, accountants, insurers, predecessors, successors and assigns, and all persons acting under, by, through or in concert with any of them (all of the foregoing are referred to as the "Releasees"), from any and all claims, causes of action, damages, penalties, interest, fines, debts, liens, liabilities, demands, obligations, attorneys' fees, costs, and any other form of relief or remedy in law or equity, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected that existed or came into existence between September 21, 2009 through April 30, 2013, inclusive, that were or could have been asserted based on the facts pleaded in the First Amended Class Action Complaint, including but not limited to all statutes referenced in the First Amended Class Action Complaint and corresponding provisions of Wage Order 7-2001, including but not limited to (i) Labor Code §§ 1198 and 2802, (ii) Labor Code §§ 2698, et seq. and Business and Professions Code §§ 17200, et seq. claims premised on violations of Wage Order 72001 and/or Labor Code §§ 1198 and/or 2802, and (iii) interest, costs and attorneys' fees related to the such claims. The claims described above are referred to herein as the "Released Claims." With respect to these released claims, each Class Member shall be deemed to have expressly waived and relinquished, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions, rights and benefits afforded by § 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor. However, the Parties expressly exclude from the scope of the release any claims that Class Members have in connection with any individual actions or class actions involving claims other than those as described and defined in the release above.
