On Wednesday, June 3rd, at 9:00 AM, Wal-Mart Workers for Change invites you to join community & labor leaders, political allies, and Wal-Mart workers in standing up for the right to organize for better wages and working conditions at Wal-Mart. We're assembling at O'Kane Park in Lakewood (near the corner of Teller St & W 1st Ave).
