Check it out, over 100 Walmart employees from 17 states are going to Washington, DC to brief congressional staff on their experiences at Walmart, specifically the wages and benefits at Walmart. Here's the media advisory:
***Advisory: April 27, 2009***WALMART WORKERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO BRIEF CONGRESSIONAL STAFF ON WAGES, BENEFITS AT AMERICA’S LARGEST RETAILER
Nearly 100 Workers Representing Their Home Stores Will Come to Washington, DC This Week
Washington, DC – Nearly 100 Walmart workers from 17 states will come to Washington, DC this week for a national organizing committee meeting, and to brief Congressional staff on working conditions at America’s number one private employer and why they need a union voice in the workplace.
Workers from Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, will be available to speak to reporters following the briefing with Congressional staff:
WHAT: Briefing for Congressional Staff and Press by Walmart Workers
WHEN: Thursday, April 30 at 10 AM
WHERE: Agriculture Committee Room, #328 Russell Senate Office Building
Despite Walmart’s long and well-documented history of anti-worker activities, associates say they are emboldened by the election of Barack Obama and the introduction of the Employee Free Choice Act in Congress. Ten of these workers shared their stories in a new video, released last week.Walmart Workers for Change is a new campaign made up of thousands of Walmart workers joining together to form a union and negotiate better benefits, higher wages, and more opportunity for a better future.
The campaign is a project of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), America’s neighborhood union. The UFCW represents 1.3 million workers nationwide, with nearly one million working in the supermarket industry. Many of UFCW members also work at national retail stores such as Bloomingdales, Macys, H&M, Modell’s Sporting Goods, Saks Fifth Avenue, RiteAid, CVS, and Syms.

Greetings from Greenville, NC!
Walmart used to be favorite place to shop till 6 19 2009 at 6:15 PM. The managers name was Tavorri. I asked the vegetable / produce associate person that the paper roll was empty and I was shifting through the cherries of which the bags were wet / leaking. thus I was hoping he will just get the paper. Any how, while I was waiting outside the area I peeked inside and yelled for somebody in a friendly tone, like helllooo. The person came and accused me of calling him names, and he started calling me names and stuff like why don't you come inside and we will take it up there. He was either hearing wrong or stressed out. So, I asked for the manager and waited another 30 mins. for him to arrive. I first took him to the two towel dispensers to show him that they were empty, and thats why I had asked the person for some and he called me names. Mr. Tavorris went inside and told me that I had to leave and if I had any complains then call 18009256278. I was shocked and asked him how he could beleive the young lad and not me? I am 52 this kid was maybe 22. Besides, why would a normal human being just go crazy and call names to people, especially a customer who has no relation to any one there. I told Mr. Tavorris the same thing. Do realize I go to Walmart at least twice a week because I live nearby, and a know quite of the old timers there. I also run a local business which is a fairly famous place and even people who work at walmart come there. I wish I had the produce kids name. Anyway, Mr. Tavorris called the cops and Out of defiance I waited for another 30 mins or so for the police to arrive only to tell me that I had to leave because Mr. Tavorris was the manager and he had the right to do so. I would have to file a complain at the station. I was tired and I left. I think Mr. Tavorris is a racist, just because the produce person was black and so is he I was not beleived. Logic, why would I just call people names for no reason, besides I thought I was helping them by letting them know.
