Walmart workers are losing ground in the workplace and America needs to know.
Today, a new mini-documentary was released by Walmart Workers for Change. In it, real Walmart associates speak out against the poverty wages, unaffordable healthcare, and employee intimidation that have become "normal" at Walmart.
These brave Walmart workers have stood up to the most powerful retailer in America for one reason--they have seen the way Walmart works and believe something has to change. After you watch their mini-documentary, we know you will agree with them.
Today, we are asking you to support this new cause. Already, thousands of Walmart employees have joined Walmart Workers for Change. They're fighting for better wages, better healthcare, and representation in the workplace. But, they can not win their fight for a better workplace unless America gets to know the real Walmart. For that, they need you.
Let these Walmart associates know you've got their backs. Watch the new mini-documentary, send it to your friends, and Add your signature to the growing list of Walmart activists who support rights in the workplace for hard working Walmart employees.
Help spread the new mini-documentary: show your support for American Walmart workers
Walmart Workers for Change is fighting for a new law before Congress that would give 1.4 million Walmart workers a real chance for representation in the workplace, without the company's usual threats and harassment. We've joined with them to spread the word about the Employee Free Choice Act and the promise it holds for American Walmart workers.
For years, Walmart's anti-union drives have exploited America's soft labor laws, often breaking them outright. The results of these anti-worker policies are clear -- stagnating wages, sub-par benefits and an increasingly unfriendly workplace. All at a time when Walmart and the Walton family are benefiting from the sagging economy and making record profits.
Workers need a process that will guarantee their right to a voice in the workplace. They need to know that when a majority of their coworkers want to exercise their right to representation, they will get it. They need guaranteed contracts and tough penalties when Bentonville illegally intimidates and harasses them. Walmart workers need the Employee Free Choice Act.
Most of all, Walmart workers need you. Let America know that you support the mission of Walmart Workers for Change. Watch their new documentary and tell your friends.
It's time America met the real Walmart. Take action today.
Thanks for all that you do,
The Team
