- Vivendi sued by programmer over employment law breaches - A
programmer working for Vivendi Universal Games' Knowledge Adventure division,

has filed a lawsuit against his employer - claiming that the publisher

and is paid on the basis of a 40 hour week - but claims that he and his
colleagues regularly work more than 12 hours a day, without being paid
overtime. While such a tale is unlikely to raise many eyebrows around an
industry where these kind of hours of unpaid labour are expected from many
