Drivers for Walmart’s Surrey, B.C., store have won interim certification from the Canada Industrial Relations Board. The move allows them to form a bargaining committee and work with representatives of Unifor, Canada’s largest private-sector union, to negotiate their first collective agreement with Walmart.
The Surrey drivers follow on the success of workers at Walmart’s Mississauga, Ont., warehouse, which in September became the first of the company’s Canadian DCs to unionize.
