News reports confirm that Walmart protests lacked Walmart workers

New details about the Walmart protests orchestrated Thursday by the United Food and Commercial Workers confirm that few of the people involved work for the nonunion retail giant.

In a statement Friday, OUR Walmart, an activist group backed by UFCW, said “100 Walmart workers and community members were arrested in 11 cities Thursday calling on the employer to reinstate illegally fired and disciplined workers, publicly commit to improve jobs and end the company’s aggressive violations of workers’ rights.”
