This
Black Friday Join the Walmart Strikers on the Front Lines!
Walmart
workers are mobilizing to take action on Black Friday in your area
and they need you to support them directly, in the streets.
Even
Ashton Kutcher gets it. Can you join them and attend
a direct
action training? Companies throughout the world have
followed Walmart’s example, creating low-pay, low-security jobs.
We have all seen our friends, family and neighbors struggle as they
are forced to take jobs they know can’t cover their bills. We’re all
paying the price for the Walmart
economy.
But there is hope for change. All around the country, Walmart workers
are standing up. They have gone on strike in Dallas,
Cincinatti,
and Southern
California to protest Walmart’s attempts to silence
them by firing and disciplining those who stand up for their
coworkers’ rights. They’re tired of looking their children in the
eyes and having to explain why there’s no food in the cabinets while
they work for one of the most profitable
companies in the world. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the
year, they’ll be holding protests to call on Walmart pay a
real wage of $25,000/yr for fulltime work and to end the retaliation
against those who speak out. Workers in YOUR CITY are planning to
act. Making
Change at Walmart is holding a quick course in how
you can support them and mobilize for action.
Can you attend a protest training this week to learn how you can get
more involved? If you’re interested in supporting Walmart workers as
they let companies know that Walmart-style jobs aren’t good enough
for our country, RSVP and
get more information.
