Shell, BASF Offer Brazilian Workers Millions in Class Action Settlement

Shell Brasil SA and BASF SA have offered more than $20 million to settle a class action lawsuit with former workers allegedly contaminated at a pesticide plant in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil's top labor court said Friday. The court said on its website that the two companies have offered to provide 884 workers with lifelong health plans with a "global value" of 52 million reals ($26 million). Representatives of the two companies and workers are scheduled to meet again at the end of a month to discuss the proposal, the court said.
