Unifor says it has filed notice to begin the bargaining process with online retailer Amazon for a first collective agreement for workers at its warehouse in Delta, B.C.
The union says a bargaining committee has been elected and workers have been surveyed on their priorities for the contract, which include addressing the heavy workload and what’s described as “rampant favouritism.”
A statement from Unifor says that despite repeated rebukes from the B.C. Labour Relations Board, “Amazon continues to wage a misinformation war against its own employees on the shop floor.”
The labour board ordered the certification of the union in June, saying Amazon interfered with the formation of a union and was intimidating and coercive.
Unifor says it’s a “difficult pill to swallow for Amazon” to accept its workers have basic rights, and the sooner it does, the sooner it can start collective bargaining.
No one from Amazon was immediately available to comment.
