 | DSA joined the United Food and Commercial Workers Union in a Day of Action against Wal-Mart stores that took place Nationwide. As DSA Honorary Chair Barbara Ehrenreich illustrated in her book "Nickel and Dimed", Wal-Mart is notorious for mistreatment of workers, ranging from time theft to discrimination against women, gays and people of color. |
