The Naval Academy will pay a total of about $14,000 to more than two dozen workers at a campus restaurant who were denied lunch breaks over several years, marking the fourth time since 2004 that the school has lost a dispute with the union representing its civilian workers.</p>

<p>A federal arbitrator ordered the settlement, which both sides agreed to in recent weeks, after ruling that the military college violated labor laws and created an environment of "fear" and "intimidation" among employees at the Officers' and Faculty Club in Annapolis....
