Solidarity with Walmart Workers

For the first time in their 50 year history, retail workers from dozens of Wal-Mart stores have gone on strike. Their complaints range from poor wages, to poor benefits, and to retaliation from the company against those attempting to organize.

Workers everywhere, union and non-union, in retail and in other fields, owe a debt of gratitude to the courageous Walmart workers who exercised their right to strike to force America’s largest employer to change for the better.

The San Diego organizing committee of IWW stands in solidarity with the Walmart workers. We stand ready to support their fight to improve their workplace conditions, to be treated with respect, to raise their economic standing, and if they so choose, to empower themselves through collective bargaining and direct action.

We recognize that workers everywhere have a moral and legal right to have a voice in the workplace, and when Walmart workers recognize and exercise their power to improve their lives, all retail workers, and workers everywhere, will see their living standards improve.

Solidarity Forever!
