The bastards are taking the old route of
closing the doors before accepting a union in their store.
This is the store in Saguenay, a small remote area well north of Quebec City. The loss of those jobs will be severely felt.
There is a second Wal-Mart that recently got union accreditation in St-Hyacinthe, east of Montreal. If there is any good news to come of this, it's that the provincial opposition Parti Quebecois (and federal counterpart, the Bloq Quebecois) will likely make a lot of noise about this. The respective Liberal governments may be able to step in.
