Walmart Signs First North American Union Deal in Canada
Walmart warehouse workers in Mississauga, Ontario, have ratified the first union contract with the retailer in North America, Unifor said. The deal gives Unifor entry into Walmart's supply chain, a rare move for the union. Unions are turning focus away from store floors and looking harder at logistics centers. That’s important because fewer workers can disrupt supply for stores and online. The Mississauga warehouse handles supply for more than 100 Walmart locations, including one of the company’s top Canadian markets, according to The Guardian.
