From the AP:

An employee in Wal-Mart's Labor Relations Department has sued the retailer, saying she was harassed and given poor evaluation scores because she refused to shred documents relating to the investigation of a former vice chairman convicted of fraud.

Rita Miles, an administrative assistant to Wal-Mart's vice president of labor relations, filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Fayetteville. Her suit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. claims that the Bentonville-based retail giant violated the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed by Congress in 2002 after corporate scandals at Enron Corp., WorldCom Inc. and other companies.

The suit says that Miles was told to destroy hard copies of documents relating to the investigation of former No. 2 Wal-Mart executive Thomas Coughlin, who was sentenced last month to 27 months in home detention after pleading guilty to stealing money, merchandise and gift cards from the retailer.

Miles and others in her department were told to shred the documents after scanning them in an electronic database, according to the lawsuit. Miles objected, and later told the U.S. attorney's office about the shredding, the complaint said.
