Academic community denounces Wal-Mart’s anti-union stance Walmart Workers Canada
We are very concerned about Wal-Mart's decision to close its store in Jonquière, Québec in the wake of its employees' opting for unionization and collective bargaining. The right to unionize and bargain collectively is not only a statutory right in Canada, but also a fundamental human right.
Wal-Mart has a well-documented policy of discouraging its employees from exercising this fundamental right and in frustrating its object when employees choose, nevertheless, to exercise it. We believe that respect for human rights is fundamental to good corporate citizenship.
In order to conform to international human rights standards, Wal-Mart must cease its active opposition to unionization and instead recognize and deal fairly with leaders freely chosen by its employees with a view towards working out, in good faith, mutually acceptable solutions to issues raised.------------------------------------------- posted 12:15 PM :: reference link ::
