A PROTEST against poverty pay at anti-union US retailer Walmart ended with 23 arrests, the Los Angeles county sheriff’s department confirmed today.
Workers organised in Organisation United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart), a group founded by the United Food and Commercial Workers union, launched a sit-down strike on Thursday in the city’s Crenshaw Boulevard supermarket.
