How do they quell their workers' attempts to organize around obtaining fair terms of employment? Watch to find out. BRAVE NEW FILMS BOXED SET: http://www.bravenewfilms.org/10thanniversary The subsidies Walmart gets from city governments takes funding away from public schools. When Walmart opened stored in Denver, they got $1.7 million in city subsidies, if the money had gone to the Denver Public Schools system, they wouldn't had have to shut down three schools. Subsidies also give Walmart an unfair business advantage over small, locally owned stores that offer better pay and benefits for their workers. Enough is enough. All working people deserve fair wages and benefits. Workers in more than 2,000 stores have come together to call for Walmart to increase wages to a minimum of $13 an hour and access to full-time hours. OUR Walmart is coordinating these protests and is attempting to strike a blow to the most exploitative corporation in America on the biggest retail day of the year. Stand with the Walmart strikers this Black Friday at a protest near you: http://www.blackfridayprotests.org/ Quick facts about Walmart: •The Walton family, who owns Walmart, is the richest family in America -with nearly $150 billion in wealth. •They have as much money as 43% of America’s poorest families combined. •Most of Walmart's 1.3 million employees make less than $25,000 per year. •Most Walmart jobs are part-time. •Many Walmart workers are forced to utilize state subsidized benefits in lieu of receiving sufficient benefits from their employer. Very interesting that The Waltons have funded numerous political campaigns which attack welfare, while they benefit hugely from the system... •Walmart no longer offers health benefits to employees who work less than 24 hours per week. •Walmart requires workers to attend anti-union meetings and specially trains supervisors in union avoidance. •"In 2005, a memo from Walmart’s then Vice President of Benefits Susan Chambers outlined a strategy for how the company could remove sick workers from the payrolls and avoid paying healthcare benefits." - MakingChangeatWalmart.org You can fight back.
