Amazon workers at a fulfilment centre in Delta, B.C. have been certified to unionize after the B.C. Labour Relations Board found the company engaged in unfair labour practices. The union filed a complaint, alleging that Amazon increased hiring to dilute union support during its certification attempts. Following 18 days of hearings, the board determined that Amazon's anti-union tactics had compromised a fair vote. The board granted Unifor certification through a remedial order, allowing workers access to collective bargaining and a fair agreement.
