Dollar General has closed all but one of its New Orleans stores in the past couple of years.
Former employees say they got little warning.
Some say they learned they were out of a job only when they tried to clock in.
Organizers of the protest say workers were paid only through the week of the closures with no severance pay and no guaranteed transfer to another store.
They're calling on Dollar General to offer 60 days of severance, transfers to other stores, and advance notice for future closures.
In a statement, Dollar General said the employees were paid for scheduled time and invited to apply for jobs at other store locations.
For NPR News, I'm Tanner O'Neill Riley in New Orleans.
