    Wal-Mart's Attack on the Union Cited in Canadian Labour Board Complaint When United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1518 organizer David Noble referred to a Wal-Mart "hit list" of pro-union employees during an organizing campaign in a Quesnel, British Columbia, store, management responded with personal attacks on Noble and a denial that the list even existed. Wal-Mart portrayed Noble and the union as liars and told employees to call the police if union reps visited them at home.

    As a result, the British Columbia Labour Board has slapped Wal-Mart for yet another violation of workers' right to organize.

    Manitoba - Let workers vote on union: Wal-Mart A labour union shouldn't be allowed to unionize Wal-Mart workers without a vote, a company spokesman says.
