Vigil and Protest Today at Wal-Mart for Black Friday Victim

On the final weekend shopping day before the holidays, the group Workplace Profit is holding a vigil and rally in front of the Valley Stream Wal-Mart where employee Jdimytai Damour was trampled to death on Black Friday. The vigil is being held at noon at the mall entrance at Sunrise Highway and Green Acres Road. The immigration activist group is pushing companies to have better training that what they see as the inadequate preparation given to Damour, who was not trained in either security or crowd control. Wal-Mart had no comment on the event since there is an investigation underway and there a lawsuit has been filed against the retail giant.
