Workers in Walmart warehouse get $21 million wage theft settlement

Workers in a Walmart warehouse may get $21 million in back pay, interest and penalties as part of a wage theft settlement with contractor Schneider Logistics. If you're thinking, "Wow, $21 million is a lot," you're right—and there's reason to raise an eyebrow at Schneider's willingness to pay that much as a settlement rather than taking its chances in court.

The workers and their lawyers had fought to get Walmart included as a defendant in the case, arguing that since the warehouse was dedicated entirely to Walmart products and Walmart exercises significant control over working conditions, it was, with Schneider, a joint employer of the workers. Earlier this year, a judge agreed with that argument, saying Walmart would have to go to trial. However:

... under the terms of the settlement, the full amount of the penalty falls to Schneider, the contractor. Walmart will pay nothing.

"We're obviously pleased with the proposed settlement agreement," said Kory Lundberg, a Walmart spokesman. "Schneider is the one that's solely responsible for paying the agreed upon amount."

are we looking at big money buying law or lack thereof,  or was this guy Schneider just the fall guy for Walmart falling on the proverbial sword to keep the hands of the rich stained with green ink from the money and not the dirt of what they are continually doing to it's workers?

how much more money do those at the top have to have to satisfy their gluttony for the Benjamin's, will there ever be enough that they would consider just a fair wage to live off not any more or less just fair wages, there profit margin shows their workers are doing their jobs for just a crust of bread and such.  Godless behavior does not exempt you from God.
