Hundreds of people marched Saturday through the streets of Chinatown in Los Angeles to protest against Wal-Mart's plans to open a store in the neighborhood.

Many said they came to protest against the proposed store while others said they came to decry what they said were Wal-Mart's low wages and union-busting attempts.

"This historic neighborhood will be utterly gutted if Wal-Mart comes here," Morello told The Associated Press about the prospects of the retail giant driving smaller stores in Chinatown out of business.

"It's Wal-Mart's global policy of sweatshop labor and poverty level wages that we don't need in LA," he said.
