Unions starting to make inroads at Wal-Mart By BARRIE McKENNA, The Globe and Mail
Having better luck in Canada than U.S.
WASHINGTON -- After years of dogging Wal-Mart Stores Inc., organized labour has begun to make some surprising inroads at the planet's largest retailer.
But only in Canada, where workers at a handful of stores appear tantalizingly close to winning first contracts.
In the United States -- Wal-Mart's home base -- the Bentonville, Ark.-based company is proudly and defiantly non-union. Of the company's more than 3,500 U.S. stores, not one is unionized. And the retail industry's dominant union, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, isn't even betting on any quick breakthrough.------------------------------------------- posted 6:49 AM :: reference link ::
