Wal-Mart: Know the Facts, Get Involved
The NEA Executive Committee approved the Association's participation in "Wake-Up Wal-Mart," a major national effort organized by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), designed to educate the public about the effects of Wal-Mart on its employees, their communities and the economy, as well as the anti-public education activities of founder Sam Walton's family.
Several NEA state affiliates, including the Colorado Education Association, Delaware State Education Association and Washington Education Association, have adopted more specific recommendations in their state. Check with your local and state associations to find out what is happening in your area.
More resources are available online to keep you informed of the facts about Wal-Mart and what people are doing to change the company's behavior:
- Wake-Up Wal-Mart, a campaign sponsored by United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW);
- Change America, a non-profit organization that provides additional resources on Wal-Mart's anti-worker practices.
