Sory, I don't have the link...I just caught it on the 5:30pm news. The new Wal*Mart in Sherbrooke, Quebec is the first Union Wal*Mart in North America.

If anyone has a link, please post.

I give them 6 months to close it for "economic reasons". Scumbags.

May you lead the way toward an equitable workplace for all Wal-Mart workers.

5. Onward soldiers, onward!!!!!!

This is a crack! We need to exploit it!

But a solid victory, a solid victory indeed.....

Soon Wal Marts across Canada will unionize. It will spread like a cancer Wal-Mart won't be able to dig out!

8. Way to go, Canada.

Thanks for doing what we haven't been able to in the US. I have never understood how Wal-Mart could keep the union out of their stores and you guys just proved IT CAN BE DONE. That's really fabulous; here's hoping the unions make a comeback for the little guys.

9. I currently do NOT shop at Walmart, but if they unionized

I would be happy to pay the extra 2.5 (or however much)cents on the dollar, knowing it was protecting the workers. MKJ

11. Union, but no contract...

How long do you think THOSE negotiations will last? And then go to court?

A victory, but not a full one until the ink's dry on the contract.
