OUR Walmart Declaration for Respect

In June of 2011, nearly 100 Associates representing thousands of OUR Walmart members from across the United States came to the Walmart Home Office in Bentonville, Ark., and presented a Declaration of Respect to Walmart executive management. The Declaration calls on Walmart to:

• Listen to us, the Associates
  
• Have respect for the individual
  
• Recognize freedom of association and freedom of speech
  
• Fix the Open Door policy
  
• Pay a minimum of $13/hour and make full-time jobs available for Associates who want them
  
• Create dependable, predictable work schedules
  
• Provide affordable healthcare
  
• Provide every Associate with a policy manual, ensure equal enforcement of policy and no discrimination, and give every Associate equal opportunity to succeed and advance in his or her career
  
• Provide wages and benefits that ensure that no Associate has to rely on government assistance.

Adopting this Declaration will make Walmart a better company for Associates, customers and the communities in which it operates. As Sam Walton said, “Share your profits with all your Associates, and treat them as partners.”
