A court ruled that a class-action suit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in Washington may proceed, allowing 40,000 current and former employees of the retail giant to participate in the suit, which alleges wage abuses.

The alleged abuses included off-the-clock work for which employees were never paid, missed meal and rest breaks, and altered time records.

A Wal-Mart spokesman wasn’t available to comment on lawsuit.
