Worked more than eight years at Wal-Mart in Placerville, California. As one of the Organization United for Respect at Walmart’s (OUR Walmart) top leaders, she led her co-workers out on strike last Black Friday, as well as other strikes. She was later fired for her organizing efforts. She joins us from Bentonville, Arkansas, where Wal-Mart’s headquarters is located. She’s been protesting there since Friday.
