Top court backs Wal-Mart over union store closing
"The Supreme Court of Canada turned down Friday a long-fought appeal by Wal-Mart employees who banded together to unionize before the corporate giant shut its doors Jonquiere, Quebec.

In August 2004, the Saguenay region store was the first Wal-Mart to unionize in North America, but the bid by 190 employees didn't last long.

On the day a collective bargaining dispute was ordered to arbitration, the mega U.S. retailer said it would close shop, citing financial reasons."
Capitalism 1, union thuggery 0!
Yes!
