BREAKING: We're Prepared to Strike, Please Support (Walmart warehouse) [View all]


http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=3b3338c3f4215c36ce83a3259&id=de150707b9&e



Yesterday, a group of warehouse workers in Southern California decided they will strike this week if the retaliation at the warehouse where they work does not end.

You can support these brave workers. Sign our petition supporting all workers in Walmart's supply chain: http://www.corporateactionnetwork.org/campaigns/black-friday/petitions/respect-your-employees-right-to-speak-out




Warehouse workers like David Garcia were terminated and others have been demoted or had their hours dramatically cut just for speaking up for a safe work place.

There is good news: Since workers went on strike the first time this September, the company that operates the warehouse has been scrambling to rent fans, add water coolers and fix broken equipment. Now workers no longer have to pay for their own safety equipment. With your support, conditions are improving.

Unfortunately, the workers who risked their jobs to win humane working conditions are still being punished and retaliated against. For this reason workers are prepared to strike again.

FULL story at link.

P.S. If you are in the Los Angeles are, please join us in person. Rally with Warehouse Workers to End Retaliation Thursday, November 15.
