Last week, more than 7,000 Wal-Mart store managers went to Kansas City, MO for Wal-Mart's annual managers meeting, and so did we.
We went to Kansas City to take our fight for change directly to the store managers who are responsible for implementing Wal-Mart's anti-family policies. We unveiled a new initiative to specifically target store managers and ask them to join our movement for change.
Now, it's your turn.
Please download a copy of our "open letter" to Wal-Mart store managers and give it to the store manager at a Wal-Mart in your area.
As you may recall, it was at this very same managers meeting in Kansas City last year that Wal-Mart turned its back on Sam Walton's dream and rolled out a series of anti-family policies that have wreaked havoc on its employees.
For example, in 2006, Wal-Mart capped salaries, cut hours, replaced full-time jobs with part-time jobs, eliminated the standard and traditional health care plans for new hires, and, even, instituted a restrictive attendance policy that doesn't allow an employee to take care of sick child.
These anti-family policies must be reversed. Please download this flyer and pass it out to Wal-Mart workers inviting them to be on a national conference call this Thursday where we will talk about what they can do to fight back!
Unfortunately, Wal-Mart has turned its back on Sam Walton's vision, but it's not too late. With over 314,000 Americans we have the power to end these anti-family policies and change Wal-Mart for the better by making sure people and America come first.
