Wal-Mart ,an American public corporation that runs a chain of large, discount department stores filed a court injunction arguing that a website infringes on their trademarks.
Wayne Hanley,the president of UFCW Canada National says about this injuction :“This injunction request is an over the top assault on effective freedom of speech.It’s a kneejerk response by Walmart to the idea of its employees trying to understand their options as workers, and trying to share experiences with other ‘associates’.”
“Walmart’s response to the success of www.walmartworkerscanada.ca is just another outrageous example of how the largest retailer in the history of the world will use its bottomless legal budget to manipulate the collective bargaining process and do just about anything to discourage its ‘associates’ from joining the union.”
