Hundreds of Los Angeles Walmart workers held a rally Thursday outside of the Pico Rivera Walmart to protest against the largest retailer in the world.
It's the first time in the company's 50-year history that their workers have protested, and on Thursday it was in hopes of ending the retaliation against employees who talk about working conditions and poor wages. Protesters today were saying that they couldn't speak inside of Walmart, but they could speak outside of the retail company.
The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor also joined the Walmart workers in protest Thursday as well.
