American Rights at Work has launched a web site spotlighting the retail giant’s unfair practices in the workplace. The site will also serve as a platform to enable the public to communicate their opposition to Wal-Mart’s anti-union behavior. "When Wal-Mart employees attempt to stand up for themselves and try to form a union, they face threats, propaganda, discrimination, intimidation, and even firings in
retaliation," said David Bonior, Chair of American Rights at Work:
- The company taps into calls and emails from stores around the country to monitor whether anyone is talking about forming a union.
- Store officials receive a toolkit to "Remaining Union Free" and are encouraged to call a hotline at the first sign of any interest in a union.
- Wal-Mart dispatches a rapid-response anti-union squad at any indication of its employees considering union formation.
