The New York Police Department arrested three Walmart protesters in New York City on Thursday during demonstrations against the company's wages and protections, according to Making Change At Walmart, a coalition of Walmart worker advocates.

The protesters planned to deliver a petition to company board member Christopher Williams at the time of their arrests, Making Change At Walmart spokesperson Evan Yeats said in an interview with The Huffington Post. There are no Walmarts in New York City, but protesters wanted to deliver the petition directly to Williams' office.

The petition called for a minimum full-time starting salary of $25,000 and better worker protections.
