Join with Chicago Jobs with Justice and the Warehouse Workers for Justice to demand Walmart rectify the firing of 65 workers under the company's Standards for Suppliers and Statement of Ethics policies.
After working a full shift on December 29, 2011 sixty-five workers at the massive Walmart warehouse in Elwood, IL were informed they would lose their jobs effective immediately. Walmart’s warehouse operator, Schnieder Logistics, cancelled the contract with the temp agency, Eclipse Staffing, that employed the workers after they sued to recover stolen wages.
