First Unionized Wal-Mart

Translation of the FTQ laconic communique...

An FTQ union got certification in a Wal-Mart store in Jonquiere

The Quebec Labor Relation Commission just gave certification to an FTQ affiliated union to represent the workers of the Jonquiere Wal-Mart store said Madame Marie-Josée Lemieux, president of Local 503 of the UFCW [TUAC-FTQ]. "The union represent a strong majority of the workers of the store. We now hope that Wal-Mart will accept this decision and will negociate a contrat with the union", Madame Lemieux add. The Jonquiere store is now the only unionised Wal-Mart store in the whole of North-America.

The FTQ is the biggest Quebec union center, representing more then half a milion members.
