Subject: Wal-Mart Wins a Round In Its Struggle To Keep Unions At Bay By VOA News Author: Wal_smarts [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:22:14 02/25/05 Fri Wal-Mart Wins a Round In Its Struggle To Keep Unions At Bay By VOA News 25 February 2005 Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, has won another round in its struggle to keep its U.S. workforce from joining labor unions. Friday, workers voted 17-1 to reject union representation at a tire store operated by Wal-Mart in Loveland, in the western state of Colorado. Wal-Mart recently said it will close a Canadian store that voted for union representation and fire the store's 190 member staff. Earlier, the company eliminated meat-cutting jobs from its entire grocery operation after some butchers voted to bring in a union. Wal-Mart has 1.2 million employees who operate 3,500 stores in the United States, Canada, China, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. The United Food & Commercial Workers Union says it will continue efforts to unionize Wal-Mart. Some information provided by AP and Reuters.
