*|FNAME|* 🇨🇦Congratulations! 🥳
This is something I wasn’t aware of:
“Under Canadian labor law, a union may be automatically certified if the employer is found to have violated labor rights during the organizing campaign—for instance, by harassing worker-organizers or preventing them from talking about the union during non-work hours.”

Walmart Warehouse Workers Win First Union in Canada
Eight hundred workers near Toronto have won the first Walmart warehouse union in Canada or the U.S. “Honestly I was pretty nervous at first because I didn’t want to lose my job,” said 29-year employee Rodolfo Pilozo, a member of “Team Red,” the organizing committee behind the September victory. The Walmart distribution center is in Mississauga, Ontario, an hour from the western New York border. Workers there began organizing last December to join Unifor, Canada’s largest private-sector union. Forty percent signed union cards over the summer.
