Showing Support For Wal-Mart Workers

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

“The photos keep coming in, and our movement to support Wal-Mart workers looks stronger than ever,” reports David Nassar at Wal-Mart Watch. “Last week I asked you to submit pictures of yourselves holding up a sign that says ‘I Support CHANGE for Wal-Mart Workers.’ The response has been terrific, and it shows that people across the country care about the way Wal-Mart treats its 1.4 million employees.” Despite making billions in profits from the hard work of its employees, Nassar says, “Wal-Mart refuses to pay a living wage, offer adequate health care plans, and provide a safe and fair work environment. Wal-Mart gets away with it because its workers often have no other choice. They either accept Wal-Mart's poor treatment, or they have no job at all.” Click here to send your message of support to Wal-Mart workers.
