Since Walmart is the defendant more often than other retail companies, the Walmart legal team has the most influence in defining labor laws for the entire U.S. retail industry. In essence, with every lawsuit that Wal-Mart defends, the entire U.S. retail industry is being aligned to the ethics, human resources philosophy, ...
Certainly, Walmart is not the only major U.S. retail chain that is being taken to court by its employees. It's just the one that seems to be taken to court by its employees the most often.
In 2009, Walmart (WMT) found itself defending against a massive employee class-action suit in California when a judge certified that Walmart broke the law by refusing to provide suitable seating for its cashiers who requested it .
Publicly, Walmart is not denying that it has consciously chosen to deny seating to its cashiers, although it is denying wrongdoing. Reportedly Walmart's argument against providing seating is that cashiers need to be able to move around to look inside carts, stock shelves, and greet customers. Apparently, Walmart believes that if its cashiers are given an opportunity to sit down at any time during their work shift, they won't stand up again.
While Walmart continued to deny wrongdoing, it ultimately paid $65 million to nearly 100,000 cashiers in California to settle the nine-year-old lawsuit.

He represented a family whom Frank is trying to force out of their house. After Charlie made an attempt to prove that he's more legally apt than the actual Lawyer, Charlie challenged The Lawyer to a duel. He immediately accepted, claiming to have a loaded gun in his office desk. ("The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis")
The Lawyer, in his role as the executor of Barbara Reynolds 's estate, has to tell Dee and Dennis that their grandfather, Pop-Pop, is in a coma and is on life support. Since they are his last living blood relatives they must decide if he should remain on life support or be allowed to die. The Lawyer seems very eager for them to decide to pull the plug on Pop-Pop, because that would mean The Lawyer's duties as Barbara's executor are done, and he will never have to see Dennis, Dee, or anyone else in the Gang again. When Dee and Dennis hesitate to pull the plug, The Lawyer has them sign a power of attorney agreement so that he can give the authorization to stop Pop-Pop's life support. However, Pop-Pop begins breathing on his own after the respirators are turned off, so The Lawyer is not free of The Gang yet. ("Pop-Pop: The Final Solution")
The Lawyer (aka The Jew Lawyer) is an attorney who has had several run-ins with the Gang. Like The Waitress, his real name is unknown, and he is not actually Jewish. The Lawyer has a strong dislike for the gang. He often uses his sharp intellect and knowledge of the law against them.
The Lawyer's character returns in Season 11 , where he is seen representing Liam McPoyle in his lawsuit against Bill Ponderosa, for the destruction caused by Bill's drugging of the milk at McPoyle's wedding. It seems that the Lawyer's hatred of the Gang has only grown stronger and more pre-occupying to him since his last appearance. Despite greeting the Gang with an air of confidence (after once again reminding Frank that he is not Jewish), and assuring them that he relishes the idea of 'crushing them', he becomes visibly upset on the courtroom floor when describing his past relations to the Gang, and their toll on his personal life, [blaming them for the failure of his marriage (s)]. In an endeavor to discredit him, Dee attempts to prove he is lying about not being Jewish by dramatically revealing that she found a distant ancestor of his with a Jewish surname. The trial predictably descends into chaos, leaving the Lawyer maimed by Royal McPoyle, a Poconos Swallow that Pappy McPoyle keeps under his hat. At the behest of his handler, Royal swoops at the Lawyer, gouging his right eye, potentially blinding him (although it is yet to be seen if these injuries are permanent). While these events do reinforce Charlie's 'bird-law' legal strategy, the overall pandemonium (supplemented by Dennis playing with the 'cat' Maureen Ponderosa) in the courtroom convinces the judge to throw out the case, leaving the Lawyer defeated, disfigured, and enraged. ("McPoyle vs. Ponderosa: The Trial of the Century")
Job. The Lawyer (aka The Jew Lawyer) is an attorney who has had several run-ins with the Gang. Like The Waitress, his real name is unknown, and he is not actually Jewish. The Lawyer has a strong dislike for the gang. He often uses his sharp intellect and knowledge of the law against them.
