The union says after the Labour Board processes the application, it will determine if a vote must be held.
If the cards submitted by Unifor represent at least 40 per cent of the eligible workforce at a facility, it says a vote will be called.
Unifor’s campaign organize the workers at the Walmart facility began in December 2023.
Unifor national president Lana Payne says workers at Walmart deserve greater job security, health and safety protections, and fair wages.
