Big pics below.
Did you do any Black Friday shopping at the Walmart SuperCenter at Colfax and Wadsworth? If so, you likely saw around 150 picketers from Organization United for Respect, a group that advocates for Walmart associates; they took part in a nationwide protest against the mega-corp for its allegedly poor wages and shoddy working conditions. Look below to see photos and a video of the rally courtesy of Daniel Gonzales.

They want this to look "grass roots," but those are professionally printed signs (9 of 10 are.)
