				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MONTREAL, QUEBEC&#8211; The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW Canada) is declaring victory in an 18-month free speech battle with Walmart that concentrated on the labor rights website <a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.walmartworkerscanada.ca</span></a>. In June 2009, the world&#8217;s largest retailer filed a motion with the Quebec Superior Court for an injunction against the popular and long-standing website maintained by UFCW Canada citing trade-mark infringement.</p>
<p>On Dec. 15 a confidential settlement was achieved that does not affect the continued existence of <a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.walmartworkerscanada.ca</span></a> and its long-established commitment to communicating with Walmart workers in Canada about their rights.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;This is a huge victory for Walmart workers and their ability to freely communicate on the internet,&#8221;" said UFCW Canada National President Wayne Hanley from the Superior Court house within moments of the settlement win for <a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.walmartworkerscanada.ca</span></a>, which will continue to be dedicated to helping Walmart workers to empower themselves and improve their lives through collective bargaining.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;Despite the best efforts of the world&#8217;s largest corporation to dictate the terms of online communication, <a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.walmartworkerscanada.ca</span></a> will remain an excellent labor rights resource, and will proudly continue a seven year tradition of serving Walmart Associates as a place where they can learn about their rights, and how to exercise those rights as workers in Canada,&#8221;" added Hanley. &#8220;&#8221;Today&#8217;s victory also ensures that <a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.walmartworkerscanada.ca</span></a> will remain a safe and familiar place for Walmart workers to freely share their experiences with other Associates across the country without any fear of reprisal.&#8221;"</p>
<p>UFCW Canada has been leading the campaign to help Walmart Associates exercise their rights as workers in Canada for over a decade.</p>
