from OUR Walmart
WASHINGTON DC, May 23, 2013 — Today OUR Walmart filed over 30 new counts of unfair labor practices with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), alleging widespread and egregious attempts by Walmart to silence workers who have been calling for a change of course at the company.
The charges include counts of retaliation against associates in six states — Colorado, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Texas, and Washington State. The filings allege among other charges that Walmart unlawfully intimidated and disciplined workers who have spoken out, surveilled workers and organizers, and terminated workers in response to their involvement in protected activity.
