Walmart is how the 1% keeps the 99% down. Almost 80% of Walmart workers are so poor they need food stamps & other government benefits to survive. Last month, 45 workers walked off the job at a Walmart in Pico Rivera, CA. Dozens of other walk outs have followed at both retail stores & warehouses across the US.

It’s time for us to JOIN IN SOLIDARITY
