Walmart to be prosecuted for firing striking workers, union group says
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency that oversees workers’ rights, is to announce decision to prosecute Walmart for firing, discipling and threatening workers who went on strike or attempted to unionise, according to the group organising the strikes.
Our Walmart, a union-backed group, said the NLRB will prosecute the company for illegally firing and disciplining 117 workers, including some who went on strike in June. The board’s decision will also include threats by managers and spokespeople aimed at discouraging them from striking, Our Walmart said.
