In labor news, Wal-Mart has backed down on a fight against unionization at its stores in China. The retail giant announced this week it would work with government officials to establish labor unions at all of its stores in China. The announcement comes less than two weeks after employees at one of Wal-Mart’s Chinese stores established the first ever successful union in the company’s history. Four other stores have followed since. Labor experts say Wal Mart agreed to allow unionization because Chinese unions are entirely government-controlled.
