Leaked Walmart docs show the superstore is trying to intimidate labor organizers Empty Leaked Walmart docs show the superstore is trying to intimidate labor organizers

Walmart is attempting to win the hearts and minds of its employees by scaring them out of joining OUR Walmart, a collection of Walmart workers who have organized strikes on behalf of all the company’s most vulnerable employees.

The propaganda campaign is aimed at Walmart’s managerial staff, the corporation’s last line of defense in barring its low-wage workers from organizing for higher pay and better conditions.

“Is OUR Walmart really here to help you?

NO,” the PowerPoint slides booms, warning of a $5 monthly dues to join the organization—a completely optional fee—and brandishing the group’s ostensible ties to the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
