Wal-Mart Watch Responds to Wal-Mart’s Closure of Unionized Tire and Lube Express in Gatineau, Canada
In response to Wal-Mart’s closure of the recently unionized Gatineau, Quebec Tire and Lube Express, Wal-Mart Watch Executive Director David Nassar released the following statement:
“Wal-Mart’s closure of the recently unionized Tire and Lube Express auto shop in Gatineau, Quebec shows how Wal-Mart is willing to do anything to keep its workers from receiving better wages, decent benefits or fairer working conditions. The Gatineau workers have merely exercised their human rights under Canadian Law, something that is clearly unacceptable to Wal-Mart.
“Later today, Wal-Mart Watch will launch a new web site which features the real stories of Wal-Mart employees who are suffering under Wal-Mart’s low-wage, low benefit business model.
“The closure in Canada clearly shows that Wal-Mart has no desire to change.”
