Illinois Walmart Warehouse Workers Deserve Fairness, Demand Change

No one should come to work and endure extreme temperatures, inhale dust and chemical residue, and lift thousands of boxes weighing up to 250 lbs. with no support. Workers never know how long the work day will be—sometimes two hours, sometimes 16 hours. Injuries are common, as is discrimination against women and illegal retaliation against workers who speak up for better treatment.

We call on you to ensure that:

1. Workers receive a living wage and are paid for all hours worked in accordance with the law

2. Workers have consistent, regular work schedules in order to be able to care for their families

3. Workers have a safe workplace with better training and safety equipment; and

4. There is an immediate end to all intimidation and illegal retaliation against workers for exercising their rights
