Walmart Suppliers Cheat Warehouse Workers Out of Pay

Warehouse workers are suing three companies in Los Angeles for class-action damages.   These companies are Walmart suppliers that are accused of cheating these workers out of pay by reporting fewer hours than they actually worked.  Big-box retailers like Walmart have kept their pay low by outsourcing the jobs of these workers to staffing firms. Even under honest pay practices, temporary warehouse workers have a wage rate of $3 per hour lower than permanent ones.  Companies in California have threatened these workers with layoffs after speaking out against dishonest pay practices.
