LA police arrest 54 Walmart protesters
Los Angeles police arrest protesters outside the new Chinatown Walmart store.
Los Angeles police arrested over 50 protesters who were demanding better wages and more full-time jobs for workers of local Walmart stores Thursday night.
The demonstration was organized by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor outside the retailer�™s store in the Chinatown section of Los Angeles.
The protesters said Walmart, the world�™s largest retailer, retaliates against employees who demand better working conditions.
�œWalmart really perpetuates and epitomizes the unequal distribution of wealth that we have in this country right now,” said Glen Arnodo, staff director of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.
According to Arnodo, most of the people who took part in Thursday night�™s peaceful protest were union members including teachers and nurses.
Los Angeles police declared an unlawful assembly when the protesters sat in a circle on a street outside the store at 701 W Cesar E Chavez Ave. Police said 54 protesters were arrested after a dispersal order was issued.
Thursday�™s protest in Chinatown came one day after striking Walmart workers from around California marched on the Paramount store to demand for better pay.
Walmart workers and union supporters have been holding similar protests across the country.
In September, Walmart employees held demonstrations across the US, demanding higher wages and protesting the firing of those who previously demonstrated against the company.
Walmart is the largest corporation and retailer in the world by revenue. The Walton family, which controls over 48 percent of Walmart, is the wealthiest family in the world with an estimated net worth of $150 billion (as of August 2013), according to Forbes’ latest ranking.

“Cesar E Chavez Ave.” (a bit of irony)
The no-balls cops are the first to call on their union when they murder innocent people… but have no problem jack-booting people trying to improve their conditions and wages at SlaveMart.
