    Ontario Premier asked to call inquiry into Wal-Mart covert activities UFCW Canada
    The premier of Ontario has been asked to call a public inquiry into the activities of Wal-Mart Canada and whether a covert campaign to bust a union at a Windsor Wal-Mart in the 1990's might have subverted the integrity of Ontario labour laws and even touched the office of then Premier, Mike Harris.

    The call comes following charges filed in March against Wal-Mart with the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB), and in the wake of explosive new allegations that the former long time vice-chairman of Wal-Mart condoned a slush fund to finance anti-union activities.
