TORONTO — The Supreme Court of Canada said Friday that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. was entitled to close a store in Quebec in 2005, seven months after workers voted to become the first Wal-Mart store in North America to unionize.
The highest court in Canada ruled 6-3 that the multinational had the right to shut down the outlet and lay off 190 employees.
Justice Ian Binnie wrote for the majority, saying that the court had “endorsed the view that no legislation obliges an employer to remain in business.”
