FEDS: Walmart Broke the Law

Because Wal-Mart workers are so poorly paid, taxpayers are forced to pick up the tab for this highly profitable corporation.

Isn't it time to demand a sustainable wage with benefits?

Please share.




The federal government just charged Walmart with illegally firing and disciplining workers like me who stood up and went on strike. Can you help me spread the word about this win?

Last summer, I went on a legally protected strike with many of my Walmart coworkers from around the country. Instead of listening to our concerns, Walmart fired me and disciplined or fired around 60 others.

Even though Walmart tried to intimidate us into silence, we didn’t back down.
 
We brought our case to the National Labor Relations Board. After months of waiting, I’m so glad to hear that the government is no longer going to tolerate Walmart’s illegal attempts at silencing its workers. While this is just the first step toward getting those of us who were fired for going on strike back to work, it also sends a big message to Walmart. Walmart is not above the law.
 
It’s important that my coworkers and the world know that we have the legal right to stand up for change, even to Walmart. Please share this graphic on Facebook now to help us spread the word.

Let's send a loud and clear message that Walmart cannot break the law without consequence. We know that real positive change can happen. Walmart can't stand in our way.

In Solidarity,
