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.

Rule 1: No serial downvoting. Let’s keep Lemmy positive. Automod on duty.

Rule 2: Be civil. Play nice. And If you don’t like it here, just find a different community.

Rule 3: Weird that I have to make this an actual rule, but here we go: No advocating violence or murder.
