Eight hundred workers at a Walmart distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario, succeeded where others have not: they are now working under a two-year contract with North America’s largest logistics giant. The landmark collective bargaining agreement went into effect on July 1, nearly two years after workers won union representation, joining Unifor Local 252, motivated by low wages and unsafe working conditions. As punishment two years ago, Walmart bumped the pay of every logistics worker in Canada—except those who unionized. This was an effective maneuver to halt further union drives.
Aaand then the Waltons pull out of Canada under executive order of the president for the trade war.
Sound mentally’eded*? That’s par the course bud.
And no fucks were given. The billionaire class can take their ball and go home and the rest of us will survive.
Just like the imaginary scenario where “if we tax billionaires they’ll move away”.
As if. The waltons are more powerful then the president.
Not really he could make their life hell. Plus Canada is a small market if they had to they would pull out to protect their cash cow.
If they were, they would get gas costs drop and tradewar stop, both to save money on transport and maxinize profits.
I said they are more powerful than the president…not the oil barons.
Cool. So now we’re just making up imaginary scenarios as an excuse to subtly say slurs.
