New video shows anti-worker tactics Wal-Mart uses against employees

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that more and more Wal-Mart employees want a union. The distorted "big bad Union vs. Company" image of organized labor depicted in the story is typical of the bias that is promoted by mainstream media. But it is not the real story--the real story is the workers on the ground who are desperate for change.

A new documentary by UFCW that tells the story of Wal-Mart's war on their own workers. In the video, ten workers from coast-to-coast detail the company's response to their organizing efforts (hint: it's not exactly warm and fuzzy).

After watching this video, doesn't Wal-Mart's slogan of 'Save Money, Live Better' seems particularly accurate? These workers need your support to affect real change at Wal-Mart.
