The Purpose of this picket line is to tell people why Wal-Mart needs  
to change.

Ø    Wages below the poverty line force employees to rely on  
government programs. Wal-Mart pays $1-$2 less per hour than all other  
superstores



Ø    Wal-Mart’s health care benefits are so poor, employees are  
advised by managers to seek medical public assistance.



Ø    Our taxes subsidize Wal-Mart through city government subsidies,  
public housing assistance and welfare for employees, full and part-time


Ø    Wal-Mart forces down the wages and benefits of its suppliers, as  
well as the non-union wages in the area.


Ø    Wal-Mart is the subject of the largest gender discrimination  
lawsuit in the history of America.



Ø    Wal-Mart violates child labor laws, immigration laws and forces  
unpaid overtime work.



Ø    Wal-Mart’s monopoly practices force smaller businesses to close,  
impacting the entire region.



Ø    Wal-Mart has its own “plantation factories” overseas that  
produce most of its goods.
