    Fired Wal-Mart Worker On Hunger Strike TheDenverChannel.com
    A Polish immigrant involved in Poland's Solidarity movement in the 1980s is on a hunger strike after being fired from a Loveland, Colo., Wal-Mart Distribution Center.

    Ryszard Tomtas was fired Tuesday for 'horseplay' he said, but he believes he was really fired because he was trying to organize a union at the center.
