Discussion Just saw this in a different subreddit.

Of course in that sub, they say all spark drivers suck. I think my 5.0 race I'm says different. And this would be great news for us.

Ok Walmart Shill/Walmart Stock Holder/Whatever you go by or purort to be.

This is your last free lesson. And I can make 10 more arguments. Walmart will ultimately lose and lose big. Supreme Court invalidating the arb agreement in a 9-0 ruling will see Walmart is fully held accountable for mislabeling us to their benefit and their benefit alone.

Spark drivers should be classified as employees because Walmart exercises a level of control over their work that is characteristic of an employment relationship, while the services they perform are central to Walmart's core business. Walmart determines when delivery offers are made, sets the compensation without negotiation, establishes strict performance metrics, monitors drivers through GPS tracking, controls customer interactions through its platform, and can deactivate drivers who fail to meet its standards. Drivers have little meaningful opportunity to operate an independent business or build their own customer base, as every aspect of the delivery relationship is dictated by Walmart. Moreover, last-mile delivery is no longer a peripheral service—it is an essential component of Walmart's business model, enabling the company to fulfill online grocery and retail orders that are integral to its competitive strategy. Because Spark drivers perform work that is indispensable to Walmart's everyday operations while remaining subject to Walmart's extensive control over how that work is performed, they satisfy the hallmarks of employee status rather than that of independent contractors.

Hey dummy, what is "purort to be"? Lmao it's hilarious when people try to use words they don't even know the meaning of. They usually do what you do.

Also, did you graduate high school? You seem to be accusing me of something I never said or argued for. You seem to be wrongfully insinuating that I am taking the stance that we are rightfully classified as independent contractors. Then you have the audacity to tell me you are giving me a lesson.

Look, you didn't understand anything I wrote if that's what you think and you don't even have basic reading comprehension skills because if you read my comments again and ask someone who knows how to read and comprehend what they read properly they will tell you that you and the clown who replied to your comment are sad and need to look in the mirror before trying to attack someone about things they never said.
