Walmart should pay its workers better and the Walton family knows it.

Join the Making Change at Walmart and Daily Kos in telling Walmart and the Walton family that controls it to respect workers and to publicly commit to pay a real wage!
Despite making $16 billion in profits, Walmart continues to trap workers in poverty—forcing them to rely on taxpayer-funded programs.

Even worse, Walmart workers who speak out get fired. The company fired or disciplined more than 70 workers for going on strike. And just today, ten current or recently fired employees were arrested in Washington, DC for peacefully protesting near Walmart’s downtown office.

If Walmart does not reinstate the illegally fired workers and publicly commit pay a decent wage by Labor Day, the company will face some of the most intense actions it has seen to date.

Join Daily Kos and Making Change at Walmart in calling on Walmart and the Walton family to respect workers and to publicly commit to pay a real wage!

In solidarity,
Laura Clawson, Daily Kos
