Wal-Mart dealt yet another blow in anti-union campaign

I recently reported this setback to Wal-Mart in their anti-union campaign. They lost a bid to challenge the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board over a union effort to organize company stores in the province. The corporation hoped the Supreme Court of Canada would hear the case, as they argued the SLRB was biased against them.

I was happy to find out that they faced one more setback in their union busting campaign.
They wanted the court to force the Quebec labour relations board to order a secret ballot by the store's employees, and challenged an earlier decision by the Quebec Court of Appeal, saying it should have been allowed to present arguments on the legality its original claim. One UFCW withdrew its certification request, but another local submitted its request for accreditation the following day. This led Wal-Mart to believe it could bust the new local. This SCC decision means it can't. It also means that Wal-Mart employees are one step closer to being members of a fully functional and certified lUFCW local.
