Unifor has applied to the Ontario Labour Relations Board to represent workers at Walmart in Mississauga to form a union in their workplace. Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers.
After the board processes the application, it will determine if a vote must be held. If the cards submitted by Unifor represent at least 40 percent of the eligible workforce at a facility, a vote will be called within five business days. Earlier this year, warehouse workers at Amazon in Metro Vancouver successfully filed for a union vote.
