Walmart workers have been standing up and fighting for fair wages and working conditions — and they’ve been retaliated against every step of the way.

So now these workers are speaking out once more: They’re on strike, standing up against Walmart’s retaliation against and attempts to silence those who speak out.

And they’re taking their message directly to Walmart’s headquarters for the annual shareholders’ meeting on June 7th to make their voices heard.

Say you’re with them by signing their petition below, and we’ll make sure your voice is heard at Walmart Headquarters when we deliver petitions from allies like you.

Petition to Walmart:

Walmart CEO Mike Duke:

I’m standing with Walmart workers and calling on you to publicly commit to raise wages and increase access to full time hours so that no workers at Walmart make less than $25,000 per year.

Walmart is among the most profitable companies in the US and is owned by the Walton Family, the richest family in America, yet many workers at Walmart must rely on food stamps and even go hungry because of lack of hours and low wages.

In the last year, Walmart has faced a series of alarming crises that have impacted workers and our communities throughout the world; including a fire at a Bangladesh factory that killed 112 garment workers, where Walmart merchandise is produced; an alleged $24 million bribery scheme in Mexico and high-level cover-up; and a lawsuit alleging wage theft from warehouse workers in California and Illinois.

Walmart can do better. You can start to solve these problems by treating your workers with respect, paying them a living wage, and providing them with the hours they want and the staffing levels you need — and not silencing them when they speak up for their rights.

I urge you to do so.

Sincerely,

PhillyLabor
