Activists Make History: Organizing the First Walmart Warehouse in Canada with Angela Drew Kimelman

Walmart is notorious for its anti-union practices, pouring millions of dollars into union-busting campaigns every year. But this didn’t stop Angela Drew Kimelman, an Organizer at Unifor, from helping unionize over 800 workers at a Walmart warehouse in Mississauga, Ontario. In our first episode of Activists Make History, a new podcast series from Perspectives Journal, Kimelman shares [with host Peggy Nash] the concerns of the warehouse workers and the dangerous conditions they faced. The Mississauga warehouse union drive has shown to be a catalyst for labour organizing in warehouses across the country, with momentum swinging towards the working-class. --Website description
