    Canadian unions claim victory over anti-labour Wal-Mart Yahoo! News
    Canadian trade unionists proclaimed a "great victory" for Wal-Mart workers around the globe, after winning the right to form the first labour guild at a branch of the world's largest company.

    Workers celebrated in Jonquiere, Saguenay region, 200 kilometres (140 miles) north of Quebec City, after the Francophone province's Labour Relations board gave them the go-ahead on Monday to claim the first unionised Wal-Mart store in the world.

    Wal-Mart, the world's largest firm in terms of revenues and employees, has erected a union firewall around its stores.
