Terrace, B.C. Wal-Mart Employees Apply To Join UFCW Canada Union Investor's Business Daily
Wal-Mart employees at a store in Terrace, British Columbia have applied for union representation with the United Food and Commercial Workers Canada (UFCW Canada) Local 1518. UFCW Canada made the application before the Labour Relations Board (BCLRB) of British Columbia after a majority of the employees at the store signed membership cards with the union.
"We're delighted that Wal-Mart employees in Terrace have decided to join our union," said UFCW Canada Local 1518 President Brooke Sundin. "Given Wal-Mart's well-documented hostility towards unions, the Terrace employees have taken a very courageous step in their efforts to get better working conditions."
It is not yet known when the BCLRB will conduct the mandatory vote of Terrace Wal-Mart employees required by B.C. law regarding joining UFCW Canada, but Sundin was optimistic that the vote would come soon.
"The employees in Terrace have expressed a firm commitment to join our union," he said, "and we're very much looking forward to representing them."------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
