A Salvation Army work program that pays participants as little as $1 a week doesn’t violate forced labor laws, a federal appeals court ruled on Aug. 6.

The plaintiffs filed a lawsuit after they said they enrolled in the Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Center program, which provides food, clothing, housing, and other amenities in exchange for work.
