 | | The premier of Ontario has been asked to call a public inquiry into the activities of Wal-Mart Canada and whether a covert campaign to bust a union at a Windsor Wal-Mart in the 1990's might have subverted the integrity of Ontario labour laws and even touched the office of then Premier, Mike Harris. |
 | | In a letter calling for the inquiry sent to the Premier McGuinty this week, Michael J. Fraser, the national director of UFCW Canada explained, "as the union leading the efforts to organize Canadian Wal-Mart workers these new allegations do not surprise us. |
 | | Later, two of the employees who led the drive to decertify the union received an all-expenses-paid invitation directly from Premier Harris's office to be with him when he announced changes to the Ontario Labour Relations Act, including the stripping of powers of the OLRB referred to as "the Wal-Mart amendment". |
