Walmart has agreed to pay $100m to settle allegations from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding misleading pay practices for delivery drivers. The FTC, joined by 11 states, claimed that Walmart inflated base pay and tips in its Spark delivery program, leading drivers to lose significant earnings. Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said: “Labor markets cannot function efficiently without truthful and non-misleading information about earnings.” As part of the settlement, Walmart will implement an earnings verification program to ensure transparency for drivers.
