StumbleUnion protests at Wal-Mart
Friday, Sept. 5, 2003 | 11:14 a.m.
Al Robbins led a chant outside the Wal-Mart at Eastern and Serene avenues as members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 711 protested alleged discrimination against pro-union employees Thursday.
Danny Thompson, secretary-treasurer of the Nevada State AFL-CIO, spoke at the rally. The UFCW has been trying for two years to organize Wal-Mart and Sam's Club workers in Las Vegas, but so far no local store is unionized. Wal-Mart has denied discriminating against workers and says the majority of its employees don't want a union.
