Workers' rights groups behind a series of strikes at Walmart stores across the US are now targeting Black Friday for the next stage of a campaign they say is aimed at improving labour conditions and stopping alleged retaliation against their members.
In recent weeks, a wave of small walkouts have hit Walmart stores in at least 28 locations in 12 different states, as a union-supported campaign group, Making Change at Walmart, and other organisations agitate for improved wages, more flexible hours and an end to what they say are punishments – such as reduced shifts – handed out to workers seeking to organise themselves.
On a conference call with journalists hosted by MCW's director, Dan Schlademan, numerous Walmart workers who have taken part in strike actions outlined plans to try and disrupt Walmart's operations on November 23, the day after Thanksgiving and traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year in the US.
