U.S. Bank N.A. has agreed to pay almost $2 million to settle a class action by California bank tellers who sued because they were not provided chairs at their teller stations, according to federal court documents.

U.S. Bank NA, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. As a result, they suffered physical discomfort, according to the complaint.
