TORONTO – October 4, 2012 — Canada’s largest private-sector union, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, is standing in full solidarity with Striking Walmart Workers at several locations throughout Los Angeles, California.
The strike by Walmart workers in Los Angeles comes on the heels of strikes at two massive warehouses in the Walmart distribution network. Workers at a Walmart warehouse in Illinois continue their strike which started on September 17 over unsafe and abusive working conditions. Earlier this week, the strikers and more than 600 community allies blocked access to the facility, forcing the warehouse to temporarily shutdown.
UFCW Canada and the Mexican state of Michoacán have signed an enhanced mutual collaboration agreement to protect the human and labour rights of Michoacán migrant agriculture workers in Canada.
