Report: Wal-Mart Workers Fired After Launching Strike 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Wal-Mart workers who went on strike to demand better pay and union
rights say the company is now retaliating against them. Five workers
were reportedly fired and 11 subjected to other disciplinary measures
after striking and traveling to the company's headquarters in Arkansas
earlier this month. At least one of the workers was reportedly told the
firing was in direct response to the strike.
