SILVERTHORNE, Colo. — A small group of West African men who came to the Rockies in search of economic opportunity are embroiled in a dispute with Wal-Mart, accusing it of a raft of discriminatory actions. Most say they were dismissed because supervisors wanted to give their jobs to local people in need of work.

Wal-Mart, which has a history of discrimination and labor complaints but has increased efforts to promote diversity at its stores, denies the accusations.

You know once we organize on ending Free Trade Treason, Walmart will be one of our biggest supporters. They tried for years to stop it, you know, but couldn't on their own. They were outnumbered by the globalists, then by the manufacturers and then by competing retailers.

GO WALMART!! And Welcome Back to Our Side.

Mr. Sy, 61, said he was fired in September after his supervisors told him he had to greatly increase the number of boxes he was stocking. He was not physically able to do so, he said.
