Our latest press release:
Statement on the passage of the Chicago Living Wage Ordinance, by Paul Blank, campaign director of WakeUpWalMart.com:"By passing the Chicago Living Wage Ordinance by a veto proof margin, the City Council sent a loud and powerful message to irresponsible companies, like Wal-Mart - it is time for you to change and become a more responsible corporate citizen.
We applaud these strong and civic-minded leaders who fought for and won a better life for so many Chicago workers and their families.
Now, as we move forward, we can only hope that irresponsible companies, like Wal-Mart, have heard the call for change. Once again, it is time for Wal-Mart, our nation’s largest employer, to realize that the American people want Wal-Mart to stop making excuses for why one of the richest companies in America can't provide affordable health care, pay a living wage, and reflect the best of American values."
