One current and two former workers from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct while trying to deliver a petition demanding better working conditions at the chain to the Manhattan office of a company board director, police and organizers said.
The protest outside the Fifth Avenue office of Wal-Mart board member Chris Williams, chief executive officer of The Williams Capital Group investment bank, was one of at least 15 demonstrations against the retailer today in cities from Boston to San Francisco, protest organizers said.
