"Wal-Mart didn’t specify how the employees will be compensated."
They can be compensated by a coffee voucher. Or compensated by the joy and feelings of accomplishment they'll derive from their new work tasks.
Just saying.
Seriously tho, if they get into an accident delivering the packages is that something that'll get covered by Walmart? How about the wear and tear on the vehicle?
It really seems like it's a better deal for Wallmart. A handy way to offload delivery costs to the workers for a small compensation.
- linkregister 9y agoIt's a violation of federal labor law to pay less than minimum wage for work. Wal-Mart stores have been found many times to have coerced employees to work unpaid hours, but this wasn't successfully shown to be corporate policy.

- ianai 9y agoOf course it's a better deal for Walmart. This is Walmarts thing to do or not do. They're the biggest party in the negotiation. They will always dictate terms that benefit them at their workers expense. It's negotiation 101.
