Walmart Black Friday Strike: Stand up, Live better.


Poster: Melanie Cervantes

On Black Friday there were over 1,000 protests across the US, and hundreds of employees walking-out, all in support of Walmart workers striking for fair wages and good working conditions. OccupyWallSt.org has a good overview of the struggle, with follow-up. OUR Walmart‘s site is also a good resource.

There’s a photo essay of the Carlisle protest at La Jicarita, text & video at El Grito, and our compatriots over at OccupyNewMexico.org just posted a roundup of the actions around the state, including the early-morning employee walkout in Clovis, and our demonstration with UFCW Local #1564 and many others. In addition to the coverage from Univison, KOB & KRQE TV and an earlier brief on KUNM FM, a longer KUNM piece on the strike should be broadcast soon.
