New Yorkers Tell Walmart: Decent Pay, Not Handouts!
I was horrified to learn that instead of paying workers a decent wage, Walmart started a fundraiser asking employees to feed their hungry coworkers. This isn’t right. I call on Walmart to pay workers the wages they need to feed a family.
Why is this important?
Shocking! Earlier this week, news broke that in Ohio Walmart has been holding a food drive, asking its employees to donate to their hungry coworkers. I have a better idea for Walmart: Pay your workers enough to feed their families.
But there is hope for change! Around the country Walmart workers are standing up. They even went on strike for their right to speak out about issues like their low-wages without fear of Walmart retaliating against them. Workers and their supporters plan to hold protests at 1,500 Walmart stores around the country and in New York City this Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the “Superbowl of Retail.”
Sign my petition calling on Walmart to stop relying on other people’s generosity to support its low-road business model.
