Walmart’s $100M Gig Worker Settlement, ONE CEO Exits & NY's Strict Trucking Penalties | The Morning Minute

from FreightWaves NOW · host FreightWaves

Welcome to the Friday, February 27th edition of the FreightWaves Morning Minute, where we cover the latest developments in the global logistics and shipping world. We start by discussing the significant leadership transition at Ocean Network Express, as founding CEO Jeremy Nixon prepares to step down from his executive duties. Next, we cover the retail sector, where a massive $100 million settlement from Walmart aims to resolve federal and state lawsuits regarding delivery driver compensation. The company faced allegations of systematically deceiving its app-based gig economy workers about the actual base pay and tips they would receive for their services. Finally, we look into how stricter driving enforcement in New York State could quickly lead to license suspensions and operational disruptions for commercial carriers traversing major freight corridors. Be sure to tune in at noon Eastern for a new episode of What the Truck with Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent on FreightWaves TV.
