For the purpose of protesting Walmart’s unfair labor practices and retaliation against workers, on the biggest shopping day of the year, workers and community members participated in over 1,000 actions across the country as part of a rolling series of walkouts by Walmart store associates. The Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart) called for the historic strike after numerous unfair labor practices (ULPs) the company committed against workers, and in protest of Walmart’s ongoing attempts to silence employees for speaking out for better jobs. This strike followed successful direct actions by warehouse workers and seafood workers along the company’s vast supply chain. A global day of action followed on December 14.
