Wal-Mart Update May 08, 2009

Wal-Mart Update May 08, 2009 magnify

Dear Auntie Nanuuq,

Last week, I told you how 75 of my coworkers were going to Washington, D.C. to tell their elected officials about what it is really like to work at Wal-Mart. They didn't offer the warm and fuzzy images that Wal-Mart does when it lobbies Capitol Hill -- they told the truth.

It was a wonderful event. The workers held a press conference, they spoke with news crews, and they told their senators to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.

Watch a video of the event here:

It's empowering to see Wal-Mart workers from all over the country finally starting to organize together -- and I'm proud of my coworkers for standing up and speaking out like I did a few weeks ago.

Now it is your turn. We all need to help make their message stronger.

Please take a minute and send a letter to your senators now, urging them to vote for the Employee Free Choice Act.

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

Aubretia Edick
Wal-Mart Associate

P.S. Make sure to check back on the Wal-Mart Watch blog for more video clips of the event!
