Union Proposal

Paper Summary:

This proposal is the precursor for a ful,l evaluative report on the retail giant, Wal-Mart, as a case study that focuses on the existing Labor Review Board cases, which deal with the retailer's attempts to thwart organizing labor efforts in Canada and associated outcomes of the cases. It explains that the detailed evaluations of existing turbulence within the ranks of Wal-Mart continue to present an excellent opportunity to identify and assess existing Canadian labor statutes and the statutes ability to meet the objectives of organizations such as Wal-Mart.

From the Paper:

"In addition, there is a natural migration into the subject and evaluation of blatant shortcomings of certification, unfair labor practices and remedy provisions in Canadian labor legislation. The Wal-Mart situation covers a full spectrum of legal concerns such as the acquisition and termination of collective representation of employees, unfair labor practices and the associated regulations, collective bargaining schemes, the scope of individual's rights for collective bargaining and basic constitutional rights in a labor context. The foundation for this report has it roots in recent efforts of America's largest retailer Wal-Mart being put in a position of fending off multiple attempts to organize their employees by organized labor movements in both the United States and Canada. For example, in June of 2004, a combined effort of multiple organized labor factions planned and implemented a multi-million dollar campaign to organize Wal-Mart's existing and potential employees."
