BENTONVILLE, Ark. — A group of Wal-Mart Stores employees seeking better wages and working conditions marched on the retailer's headquarters Wednesday but said it was turned away without meeting with company officials.
Around 100 members of Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart) said they assembled so as to "offer solutions for improving the company's ailing U.S. store operations," on the same day of the company's annual investor conference.
The group, which formed a year ago, previously gathered at Wal-Mart's annual meeting in June where it met with a company representative. A spokesperson for the company was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.
