Hudson's Bay Co. announced it would stop paying commission to cosmeticians and fragrance advisers during liquidation sales, effective April 20. This change has caused frustration among the beauty advisers, who rely on commissions as part of their pay. The union representing them, Unifor, has filed a grievance against the company, claiming it violates collective agreements. Many employees are now earning near minimum wage without their typical commission earnings, raising concerns over their financial security as Hudson's Bay seeks a buyer and the potential loss of jobs looms after June 15.
Hudson's Bay Co. has stopped paying commission to hundreds of cosmeticians and fragrance advisers during liquidation sales, effectively reducing their salaries.
Unifor, the union that represents dozens of beauty advisers in Ontario, has filed a grievance against Hudson's Bay, arguing that the commission cut violates its members' collective agreement.
This company is treating liquidation like a free-for-all where contracts and basic decency no longer apply," Unifor's Ontario regional director, Samia Hashi, said in a statement.
Workers are being kept in the dark and their pay is being cut without negotiation."
