In what organizers expect to be the largest demonstration since last year's Black Friday protests, labor-backed activists are set to rally and march Thursday against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in downtown L.A., calling for better jobs.

The Los Angeles demonstration is part of planned action in 15 cities, organizers said.

In addition to seeking better jobs, the protesters are calling for alleged retaliation against outspoken Wal-Mart employees to end.

Organizers said workers and their supporters will rally at 11:30 a.m. at Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles.
