Workers at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. went to the Capitol in Washington to urge passage of legislation that would make it easier for them to form a union.
The group of about 75 workers from 17 states, backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers and the labor federation Change to Win, said they are paid too little, offered healthcare that costs too much and stymied in efforts to unionize.
Wal-Mart opposes the legislation, known as the Employee Free Choice Act, which would let workers bypass an election and form a union if a majority sign cards requesting one.
