The biggest retailer that eats up our tax dollars…pays poverty wages to their workers and…kills local business and jobs is bringing 17 new stores to P-Town….coming to your neighborhood soon!
Jobs with Justice and UFCW 555 are inviting you to a workshop / discussion on how to build a local campaign to keep Walmart from damaging our community and lowering standards for workers.
When: June 30th from 10:00 to 11:30 am
Where: JWJ / AFSCME building at 6025 E. Burnside, Portland, OR 97215
Did you know that Walmart:
-Costs our nation an estimated $ 1 billion or more per year for publicly- subsidized health care for Walmart workers
-Pays an average of $8.81 hourly wage to sales associates
-killed 196,000 jobs between 2001 and 2006 as a result of Walmart’s imports from China
-Made $408.2 billion as revenue in 2010 as the number one Fortune 100 company
BUT, there is hope! In Massachusetts the community fought back and stopped two Walmarts from opening. Here in Oregon neighborhoods are beginning to organize against the Walmart invasion. Come and find out what is going on locally and what to do about it.
