Former interns from "Saturday Night Live" who filed a class action
lawsuit over unpaid work have reached a $6.4 million settlement with
NBCUniversal. The settlement still has to be approved by a federal
court in New York.
The interns "received no compensation or compensation at a rate less than the applicable hourly minimum wage" while working for NBCUniversal, according to court documents.
The lawsuit was filed last year by former interns Monet Eliastam, Jesse Moore, Alexander Vainer and Rheanna Behuniak against NBC Universal, which is owned by Comcast (CCV).
The interns accused NBCUniversal of illegally classifying them as interns exempt from federal and state minimum wage and spread-of-hours pay.

The document did not say how many SNL interns were participating, but capped the number at 8,975.
