Just hope the employees at other Walmarts can push this through.

Otherwise they will likely close this store in a hurry.

It's a warehouse and office not a store. 2 years ago Walmart took 30 year employees for a meal at a mock store setup and had managers serve out food in a jail style line up and service. Shortly after they voted in favor of a Union . With the union voted in walmart lost their shit and gave drivers and any other employee a approx $5 per hour raise and better benefits . Shortly after Canada Cartage took over the drivers and their support people and called it Commerce link. To this date the unionized employees are waiting for over a year and a half for back pay of almost $5 pr hours they unfairly did not receive from walmart.

Cautiously optimistic, hoping for the best. Realistically they are fighting the same fight against an exceptionally well organized ruling class.

How long until the store closes?
