The Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart), which helped kick off a wave of low-wage worker activism by organizing Walmart strikers on Black Friday of last year, expects Thursday’s protests to be the movement’s biggest day of action since those initial strikes. In New York City this morning, workers and activists will deliver a petition to a member of Walmart’s corporate board. On the other side of the country, workers will march through downtown Los Angeles starting at 11:30 local time. Rallies, discussions, and pickets outside Walmart stores are planned throughout the day and evening in various cities around the country, including Baton Rouge, Raleigh, Orlando, Dallas, and Chicago. thinkprogress.org/economy/2013/09/05/2575631/walmart-worker-protests-set-15-different-cities-thursday/
