Walmart Denies Employees' Basic Human Rights

There are millions of Wal-Mart workers and neither of them--not a single worker at Wal-Mart-- is represented by a union. This phenomenon has been found to derive from the corporation's anti-union tactics. Managers are required to report the start of any organization among workers to headquarters which, in response, prompts a meeting that workers are urged to attend. In these meetings, Wal-Mart lectures the dire consequences of forming unions and broadcasts videos dramatizing these consequences. Workers are BRAINWASHED against unions. To further this anti-union tactic, managers create fear of being fired for workers about to organize. Wal-Mart has a history of firing workers illegally for this reason. Surveillance cameras have also been repositioned to eavesdrop and snoop in on workers. Low prices at the expense of human rights. Support the EFCA.
