No one has to be given benefits, wanker. They could give health and other non-retirement benefits just to managers and above if they bought insurance rather than self-insuring. It's just not good for PR. And, you can't exclude a category "part time" from retirement plans -- so if you have full-time and part-time people in the same job classifications, the way to keep people out is to ensure that they don't work more than 1,000 hrs/year.
But the thing where they were going to add somewhat strenuous physical activity (pushing carts in the summer in 90+ heat is strenuous) to every low-level job classification to discourage people with health problems (and probably the elderly) from applying was possibly, like, illegal. Heh.
