Quebec's unionized Wal-Mart threatens to close

The world's only unionized Wal-Mart may soon see it's doors closed. The world's biggest retailer is threatening to close it's store in Jonquiere, Quebec if the employees do not accept it's contract proposal. Wal-Mart has said that delays in contract negotiations are making the store increasingly unprofitable. The United Food and Commercial Worker's union argues that it is the store that caused the delays by trying to usurp the employees decision to unionize. In addition, the company also recently opened a second Wal-Mart less than 30 miles from the Jonquiere store, which could be drawing away some clients. Three other Wal-Mart's in Quebec are currently attempting to unionize.
