While Walmart says it plans no changes to its policies on gun and ammunition sales in the wake of the mass shooting at a store in El Paso, Texas, several dozen employees around the country are walking out of their jobs in protest of the retailer’s decision.

Roughly 40 employees walked out of a Walmart e-commerce office in California on Wednesday to protest the retail giant’s gun sale policy after a deadly mass shooting at one of its stores in El Paso, Texas.

According to The Washington Post, the employees left their offices for about 15 minutes and gathered outside the building, where they took a moment of silence.

Other company locations in New York City and Portland, Ore., also reportedly saw employees take similar actions on Wednesday to call on the company to change its policies.

Now, it is worth noting that these walkouts took place exactly where you would expect them; California, Brooklyn, and Portland, Oregon. And I’d be willing to guess that none of the employees who walked out are gun owners, or even know much about the actual policy they’re hoping to change.
