Campaign to unionize Wal-Mart 'waking up' By TIMOTHY SPENCE, Hearst News Service
Organized labor - led by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) - is using a similar approach against Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer. The company, with sales of $284 billion last year, has embittered unions for years by blocking efforts to organize its more than 1.2 million North American workers, including shutting down a store in Canada where employees were pressing for union representation and closing all its meat-packing operations when 11 butchers in Texas voted to unionize.------------------------------------------- posted 11:25 AM :: reference link ::
