Dear Stuart,
An extraordinary event happened yesterday.
Nearly one hundred Walmart Associates from across the country travelled to Walmart corporate headquarters.
They presented a declaration to Walmart executives, asking that the company respect their right to speak up about problems they face in their stores, improve their wages and working conditions, and treat all employees with respect.
View photos and a recap of the event at OUR Walmart’s website by clicking here.
The effort was an action taken by a new Associate-led group, the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart), which is seeking to improve the lives and working conditions of Walmart Associates in stores across the country.
The group is the largest ever of its type seeking to improve conditions at Walmart, and broke in the news this past Wednesday in a story by the New York Times.
If you’re a Walmart Associate who is interested in this effort, learn more about the Organization United for Respect at Walmart by clicking here.
Since 2005, we at Walmart Watch have sought to hold Walmart fully accountable for its impact on communities, the American workforce, the retail sector, the environment and our nation’s economy.
As the world’s retail industry leader, Walmart sets standards for wages, benefits and beyond. This movement of Walmart Associates has the potential for making a real difference in the lives of fellow employees – and because of Walmart’s position as a retail leader, their actions will have consequences that reach far beyond their stores.
A petition for supporters of these Associates is circulating at the Making Change at Walmart site. Click here to sign the petition.
Sincerely,
Walmart Watch
