Eight hundred workers at a Walmart distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario, succeeded where others have not: they are now working under a two-year contract with North America’s largest logistics giant. The landmark collective bargaining agreement went into effect on July 1, nearly two years after workers won union representation, joining Unifor Local 252, motivated by low wages and unsafe working conditions. As punishment two years ago, Walmart bumped the pay of every logistics worker in Canada—except those who unionized. This was an effective maneuver to halt further union drives.
I really hope this one sticks and more wallie worlds, not just distrobution centres, follow suit. I wont be shopping at Wallie world regardless but if their labour becomes unionized all the better.
Hopefully like how Uber unionized in Victoria and now other cities are unionizing too. We gotta bring back real union power in Canada.
