    Union gets accredited at Quebec Wal-Mart CTV News
    In a North American first, a Wal-Mart store in Saguenay, Que. is one step closer becoming the first outlet of the giant retailer to become unionized.
    The Quebec Labour Relations Board accredited a union there on Monday.

    'The union represents the large majority of the store's employees,' said Marie-Josee Lemieux, president of the union local with the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), told the Canadian Press.

    'We hope that Wal-Mart will accept this decision and negotiate a labour contract with the union.'
