Workers in Walmart supply chain strike against unsafe conditions
Warehouse company allegedly responded with intimidation
Workers at a Mira Loma, California warehouse that ships goods for Walmart launched a two-day strike last week to protest alleged unsafe working conditions and retaliation against workers who complained about those conditions.
The warehouse is owned by Olivet International, an apparel and luggage company. According to the AFL-CIO’s Kenneth Quinnell, approximately 70% of the products that move through the warehouse are shipped on behalf of Walmart.
