TORONTO — Walmart workers at a Mississauga, Ont., warehouse have cleared a key hurdle in their fight to become the retailer's first unionized depot in Canada.
TORONTO — Walmart workers at a Mississauga, Ont., warehouse have cleared a key hurdle in their fight to become the retailer's first unionized depot in Canada.
"They employ a lot of lawyers, so I'm sure they're all thinking about what it is they can do here right now because this is a pretty big win," Lana Payne said in an interview. At the Walmart distribution centre in Mississauga, Payne said workers were trying to organize since December in order to improve their health and safety, scheduling, vacation allotments and wages.
What Payne heard from Walmart workers, however, was similar to the refrain during unionization drives Unifor has been involved with in recent years at Amazon.com Inc.'s warehouses as well as Starbucks and Indigo Books & Music locations.
