WASHINGTON - Federal officials have filed a formal complaint charging that Walmart (WMT) violated the rights of protesting and striking workers last year.
.
The National Labor Relations Board says Walmart illegally fired, disciplined or threatened more than 60 employees in 14 states for participating in legally protected activities to complain about wages and working conditions.
.
The labor board's general counsel first laid out the charges last November, but held off on filing a complaint while trying to work out a settlement with Walmart. The NLRB found that stores in more than a dozen states had "unlawfully threatened, disciplined, and/or terminated employees" for having participated in legally protected strikes and protests, among other violations.
