No, Walmart didn’t have the right to lay off and sanction employees who went on strikes and demonstrations, ruled the National Labor Relations Board after investigating for nearly a year into the social movement organized during Thanksgiving last year, whereas workers at the largest retailer in the world are mobilizing again in the US. (Ref. 130744)
“The Office of the General Counsel [of the National Labor Relations Board responsible for the investigation and prosecution of unfair labor practice cases in the US] has authorized complaints on alleged violations of the National Labor Relations Act against Walmart,” the NLRB warned in a press release published 10 days before Thanksgiving, adding, “If the parties cannot reach settlements in these cases, complaints will issue.”
