SIGN THE CARD - GET A VOTE


Walmart associates in Trail are forming their own union.

By joining with others and signing a union card you have the opportunity to make your Walmart an even better place to work.

Walmart Canada's policy is to respect associates' right to exercise freedom of association, including the decision to join a union.

Katrine Conroy, MLA Kootenay West

"Good family supporting jobs are what makes a community sustainable.

In our democracy all workers should have the right to be represented by the union of their choice."

Buddy DeVito, Former Mayor of Trail

“Trail has a long history of trade unionism, and people here want to see good paying jobs in their community. Walmart associates are entitled to proper scheduling, wages, hours and benefits.”

 

Ken Georgetti, President of Canadian Labour Congress (Hometown Trail BC)

"Unions have always been an important part of Trail's culture and community. Walmart workers should make their workplace better by following that culture through joining UFCW Local 1518."

 

Doug Jones, President United Steel Workers 480

"Over the years unions have improved the living standards for many Trail residents. Walmart workers deserve the benefits that forming a union has provided others in Trail.

 

Patsy Harmston, Trail Resident - President West Kootenay Labour Council

"Walmart Associates deserve a united voice. Forming a union gets you respect and job protection."

 

Katrine Conroy, MLA Kootenay West

"Good family supporting jobs are what makes a community sustainable. In our democracy all workers should have the right to be represented by the union of their choice."
