3 Mar 2026 Walmart Inc.FTC and eleven states: 100 million USD against Walmart over Spark driver pay USAMisleading advertising and pricing €86.2m

According to the FTC and eleven states, Walmart misled the drivers of its Spark Driver delivery service about base pay, incentives and tips, so that they lost tens of millions of dollars in earnings. The court order comprises judgments of 100 million USD: 89 million USD for the FTC (of which 10 million USD is paid and 16,175,302 USD goes into a driver fund, the remainder suspended because of back payments already made) and 11 million USD for the states. The authority allegedly made the findings set out here; this account is not based on a final judgment.

What organisations can take from it

Earnings claims made to drivers and freelancers are advertising claims and must match what is actually paid out.
