But, IIRC Wal Mart did close a store in Canada that voted to unionize, so nothing surprises me from that perspective with this company. Losing a few stores to break a labor movement could very well be seen as the most cost effective approach to them. A side benefit could be what is described in the article... a chance to re-invent these facilities in a new direction, making them concept test-beds. Ideas have to be worked out somewhere, might as well be in stores where there are "plumbing problems".
