Unifor is seeking to unionize Amazon warehouses in British Columbia, potentially marking the first successful effort in Canada. Labour laws in the province favor unions, with an option for automatic certification if 55% sign union cards.
Workers at the warehouses have expressed grievances about low pay, overwork, and unsafe conditions. Former Amazon employees in Canada reported being fired for unionizing attempts, contrasting Amazon's claim of providing a choice to join a union.
Unifor's Western director, Gavin McGarrigle, mentioned that 'hundreds and hundreds' of workers have signed union cards at warehouses in Delta and New Westminster, emphasizing a desire for collective bargaining.
