WAKE UP WALMART

 

Join us on an Informational Picket Line, January 31,
3-4:30 pm in front of the new Urbana Wal-Mart on
Tatman Court (the Post Office side.) It's their Grand
Opening. We want to give them a warm Urbana welcome.

 

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 other superstores

 

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

 

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 over time work.

 

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

 

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