Dear Walmart CEO Michael Duke,

I support workers at the Walmart Distribution Center in Elwood, IL who are on strike for unfair labor practices for speaking out against illegal retaliation, wage theft, discrimination and dangerous working conditions.

No one should come to work and endure extreme temperatures, inhale dust and chemical residue, and lift thousands of boxes weighing up to 250lbs with no support. Workers never know how long the work day will be- sometimes its two hours, sometimes its 16 hours. Injuries are common, as is discrimination against women and illegal retaliation against workers who speak up for better treatment.

We call on you to ensure that:

-- Workers receive a living wage and are paid for all hours worked in accordance with the law;

-- Workers have consistent, regular work schedules in order to care for their families;

-- Workers have a safe workplace with better training and safety equipment;

-- There is an immediate end to all intimidation and illegal retaliation against workers for exercising their rights.
