Ventura County Superior Court Judge Kevin DeNoce approved the settlement Jan. 16. Under the arrangement, about 3,000 current and former workers will each receive an average payment of $618, according to the Star. Los Robles will reportedly pay $973,500 to cover workers’ legal fees, as well as $10,000 in state penalties for alleged labor violations.
In a statement obtained earlier this month, hospital officials told the Star Los Robles “denied all allegations” and “settled the matter on a no-fault basis … to keep its focus on providing the best quality patient care rather than litigation.”
Marcus Bradley of Bradley/Grombacher law firm, who represented the workers, told the publication, “We’re pleased with the resolution.”
The settlement is the result of a lawsuit filed in 2014 by former Los Robles nurse Jeanette Munden.
