Amazon labour dispute in British Columbia

Overview

The British Columbia Labour Relations Board has ordered Amazon and the Unifor union to resolve their dispute through binding arbitration. This order aims to establish a first collective agreement for workers at the Delta, B.C. fulfillment centre.

The board’s decision follows a February finding that Amazon violated the provincial labour code by denying scheduled pay increases to workers. While Unifor welcomed the ruling, accusing the company of “bad-faith bargaining,” Amazon is appealing the order. The company is also seeking a pause in proceedings until decertification votes are counted, having previously rejected mediation in favor of direct negotiations.
