Company wants certification by secret ballot
After four years of legal challenges, Wal-Mart will see workers at its store in Weyburn, Saskatchewan represented by a union. The United Food and Commercial Workers, Local 1400, sought certification for workers at the store when over 50 per cent signed union cards in 2004. The company launched a series of legal challenges including two appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada, which, in April 2007, declined to hear the second appeal, thereby leaving the way open for certification.
