Offering underpaying jobs knowing that benefits will be cut to the person if they refuse is a common tactic used to force people in to jobs they wouldn't otherwise take.

Offering people jobs that wouldn't otherwise take seems to me like a very bad business strategy in the long run.

Why?
They're essentially forced to take them, and there's a low threshold for the cheap pay recouping the training cost on how to move things around the warehouse.
High turnover doesn't matter if there's a steady supply of people coerced in to accepting and training takes at most 2 days.
