Report: Walmart relaxing rules for associates

Walmart reportedly is relaxing its dress code and raising the temperature at its stores as part of an effort to improve working conditions.

According to a Reuters report, Walmart made the announcement to a gathering of3,000 workers brought to Arkansas this week before the company's annual shareholders' meeting due to be held on Friday.

The effort, which includes a new training program and upgraded handheld terminals for department managers, is being billed as a sign that management was listening to some 1 million hourly workers it employs in the United States, according to Reuters.
