UFCW ANSWERS WAL-MART AD PITCH WITH CANADIAN GAINS By Mark Gruenberg, PAI, ILCA
Facing Wal-Mart’s multi-million-dollar U.S. advertising blitz to convince consumers it doesn’t harm its workers, the United Food and Commercial Workers answered with action, not words: Gains in Canada.
The million-member union, which is combating the notoriously low-paying anti-union million-worker retailer, just organized a second Wal-Mart in Quebec, at Ste. Hyacinthe, and is poised to win even more in British Columbia.
And if that wasn’t enough, Saskatchewan’s top court ordered Wal-Mart to produce its labor law-breaking documents and manuals for that province’s labor board--and everyone else--to see.
UFCW’s wins against Wal-Mart occur in Canada because provincial labor laws put more restrictions on company law-breaking than does the National Labor Relations Act in the U.S.------------------------------------------- posted 12:56 PM :: reference link ::
