Things like this make me very happy! I'm always on the working man's (and woman's) side in these cases. That's because I know what team I play for. Some working stiffs seem to be confused about what uniform they wear.
Good for these truck drivers! I'm glad a large greedy corporation is gonna take it in the shorts for once.
Give people what they're due...stop being greedy. What does the Walton family want? Another fricken yacht?
Do you know why lay overs are considered part of the paid job? I wonder how that was successfully argued?
When FDR implemented the FLSA (minimum wage law), the truckers opposed it and successfully lobbied to be exempt. They made more money if they were paid by mile, which means they don't really get paid for any required prepwork needed before driving.
Remember, this was before the hours of service regulations, which limit how many hours truckers can work (and effectively how much money they can make).
This is a good thing but does not go far enough
We hear the evils about Communism all the time
Any Company doing business with a Communist Country should be shut down full stop
Walmart is one of the biggest offenders
The heads of Walmart and many other Big Corporations got together to screw Americans with secret trade pacts
The heads of the outfits should be thrown in Jail
I thought business owners and managers did everything based on free and fair agreement and the 'non-force/aggression' principle ?
They are as dirty as they come
And unlike the party shills, they do not give a darn about parties
They will donate to any Tom, Dick and Harry that will grease their wheels
People will come to realize soon enough that it is not Democrats or Republicans that are the enemy
Is is deep pockets wheeling and dealing to benefit themselves
Any time Walmart loses it's a win for the average guy. There was never a family who took greed to the extremes more than the Walton family does. May they rot in hell.
It would not even be that bad for them if they had played the game for the benefit of this nation.
They raped many business and consumers as well in this country with the help of foreign markets.
They also paid off billions to local politicians in various states to get their way as well as heavily funded the Clintons and other politicians at the federal government level.
I bad mouth them every chance I get in public and on the net, they need to go out of business and the stockholders need to go bankrupt
I was a trucker and if the law required the company to pay me, I would be clamoring for the pay, too. But that's why companies are leaving California.
Walmart does more bad than good in this country, they can rot
