Today's the Day: Wal-Mart Comes to Ottawa

by David Doorey January 21, 2009
written by David Doorey January 21, 2009

Today is the day that lawyers for the UFCW and Wal-Mart will square off in the Supreme Court of Canada.  I have described the issues in an earlier post.   I’d love to hear from anyone who had been following this case, particularly anyone in Quebec, who might be able to give some more context to the arguments.  I will let you know the outcome as soon as the decision is released.

There’s many measures in academia that rank influence based on number of citations of academic articles.

Advice to new scholars:

If these rankings matter to you, do NOT focus your publications on Canadian labour & employment law. The potential audience is WAY too small!

I use Steve Martin’s template for making a personal connection with his fans to make a personal connection with my students.

Some numbers from Stats Can:

- Union density⬇️from 38% in 1981 to 29% in 2022.

- Over same period, % of men in unions⬇️ by 16%, but remained stable for women.

- Result: women (31%) more likely to be unionized in Canada than men (26%)
