Please dont shop at Walmart! Walmart workers have worked hard to fight Walmart’s illegal attempts to silence them when they spoke out against Walmart’s poverty jobs with the longest-ever strike against the company. Apparently that got Walmart’s attention. Since last Friday, Walmart responded predictably by firing 10 strikers and disciplining another 25. Unbelievable. Yesterday, Walmart workers fought back hard. They held a sit-in at Yahoo! headquarters, where Walmart board member Marissa Mayer is CEO. Three OUR Walmart members and two protesters were arrested for taking action. Not only is this a major assault on Walmart workers; it’s an attempt to suppress their and all Americans fundamental right to come together and speak out for a better future. We need to send Walmart’s board of directors, the ones who really hold the power, a clear message: This attack on our freedom to speak out against injustice will not be tolerated. We have to act quickly and publicly to make sure that Walmart’s directors can’t sit by quietly as the company fires or disciplines even one more striker. Across the US [and maybe Canada? - m], Walmart workers will be taking dramatic action. Let’s show Walmart, we’re all standing behind the the workers.
