A trade union has finally managed to infiltrate the WalMart retail empire.
8 employees in the Tire and Lube Express shop at a store location in Gatineau Quebec are now covered by a collective bargaining agreement imposed by an arbitrator and represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
There is speculation that WalMart may shut the facility to nip the unionization movement in the bud. Management likely views the union as a threat that may increase its labour expenses impairing its profitability or price competitiveness.
