Workers to Organize
Dozens of Events Nationwide and Outside Walton Family Estates to Demonstrate
that Walmart Workers and their Families are Going Hungry
Walmart
workers and their allies announced plans to fast for “$15 and full-time” in
the 15 days leading up to Black Friday, with fasting and actions planned in all 50 states. OUR Walmart, the worker-led organization which has already
won significant victories – including a wage increase for 500,000 Walmart
workers – will organize outside Walton family estates to draw attention to
the income inequality that has become the trademark of the nation’s largest
and most profitable corporate employer. Their message is clear: while
Walmart employees can barely put food on the table this Thanksgiving,
Walmart continues to thrive as the largest supplier of groceries in the
nation and line the pockets of the Walton family with corporate greed.
Anything less than $15
and full-time is not enough for Walmart workers
