____ Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, has filed trespassing claims against the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (U.F.C.W.) and other non-profit organizations doing the bidding of the nation’s main retail workers union, to stop disruptive protests at its Florida stores.

Representatives for Walmart say the company filed the lawsuit after multiple warnings, and that it is intended to protect customers and other employees from “further disruptive tactics associated with continued, illegal trespassing,” as reported by Inside Counsel.

Tactics such as U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson (D) handing out turkey sandwiches and letters explaining the right to organize to employees at a local Walmart Thanksgiving night, forcing management to have the police eject him for agitating for unionization.

One of the other defendants named in the lawsuit is Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart), a non-union group of current and former employees who advocate for better pay and benefits.

After failing repeatedly to unionize Walmart stores, U.F.C.W. helped create OUR Walmart . . .
