Wal-Mart intimidated unionists, board rules By BERTRAND MAROTTE, The Globe and Mail
The Quebec Labour Relations Board has ordered retailing titan Wal-Mart to stop intimidating and harassing employees who are trying to organize fellow workers at a store in the Quebec City suburb of Ste-Foy on their lunch and coffee breaks.
Union officials cheered the decision as a morale-booster in their campaign to unionize targeted Quebec stores. Wal-Mart's recent decision to shut its Jonquière store, where the union was trying to negotiate the first collective agreement in North America, sent a chill over the aggressive unionizing drive.

In a decision Thursday, board commissioner Louis Garant said he found that Wal-Mart Canada tried to hinder the formation of a union at a store in Sainte-Foy, a borough of the provincial capital, Quebec City.
In his reasons for the decision, Garant said Wal-Mart (Research) officials intimidated three female employees, seeking to prevent them from exercising their rights under the labor code to form a union.
In a statement, the United Food and Commercial Workers union said the decision showed Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, cannot violate workers' fundamental rights without paying the consequences.------------------------------------------- posted 12:26 PM :: reference link ::
