Labor Movement Comes Together to File Complaint Against Wal-Mart
On August 14, the labor movement, joined by other worker rights and progressive groups, filed a formal complaint with the FEC demanding they look into Wal-Mart’s intimidation of workers. The complaint stems from a Wall Street Journal article that detailed the specific steps Wal-Mart took to encourage employees to vote against Sen. Obama because of his support of the Employee Free Choice Act.
“Wal-Mart has bullied its workers and managers for years. Now it wants to bully the political process, and the FEC should take Wal-Mart’s threats very seriously,” said AFL-CIO President John Sweeney. “Wal-Mart has shown exactly why our nation needs the Employee Free Choice Act - - we must outlaw the kind of behavior for which Wal-Mart is famous and give workers a free and fair choice on whether to form a union.”
