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,
