This is new: Walmart workers are staging a sit-down strike at a Los Angeles Walmart. Holding signs urging Walmart to "stop the illegal threats" and wearing tape over their mouths to highlight the silencing of worker activists, the group sat down near the Crenshaw store's clothing racks and cash registers. According to a press release from organizers, the group includes workers from stores around California, with some having participated in the first-ever Walmart strike in 2012.
A rally with supporters is planned outside of the Pico Rivera Walmart at 5 p.m. The situation inside the Crenshaw store is developing, with managers talking to the strikers—clearly with the goal of getting rid of them, but constrained by protections for worker organizing. You can follow developments at @ChangeWalmart and Black Friday Protests.
1:10 PM PT: After two hours, the workers moved on to go to the second planned protest.
