Champions of Change
Bene't Holmes is an advocate, leader and a mother. She works for Walmart and is paid $8.75 an hour. Bene't is involved with the movement “Respect the Bump,” which calls for a stronger policy for pregnant workers and will allow them to work while protecting their health. Benet has been calling for the company to publicly commit to paying a minimum of $25,000 a year, providing full time work and ending the company's illegal retaliation against workers who are speaking out for better jobs.
