Amazon Interfered in Canadian Union Efforts, Labor Board Rules

(Bloomberg) -azon.com Inc., according to the Canadian Labor Board, established a “long and widespread anti-trade union campaign in Western Canada, and hired excessive number of workers to support a union.

The British Columbia Working Relations Board, Amazon Canada Fulfilling Services, intervened in the organization efforts of ULC in a facility in Delta in the south of Vancouver and violated the provincial laws. The Board was illuminated to a union on Friday, a movement reserved for a move for the cases where the actions of a employer vote for a fair vote.

The Board’s decision said, “There is no doubt that Amazon is trying to control the messaging at its facility, and he did it in a compelling and scary way,” he said. Amazon’s behaviors made it impossible for the Board to determine the real desires of the employees. ”

Amazon, employees often “bombed” with anti -union messages, but the company, but “only facts,” he said.

In a series of loose messages examined by the Board, an Amazon manager stated that excessive recruitment took place on the “voting site”. “We usually do not hire on such sites”.

Another administrator replied: Amazon referring to the Amazon ruler Chuck Cummings, “This comes from Chuck’s two levels”.

“Amazon said that the recruitment was consistent with labor planning until January -May 2024, and the union’s witnesses are lack of work,” he said.

“This decision is wrong about the facts and laws – it deprived them of the right to make a conscious decision,” said Amazon spokesman Kelly Nanl, “This decision is wrong about the facts and laws.” The company plans to object to the decision.

“The workers in Amazon were organized against very difficult proportions, but they killed the giant, La said Lana Payne, known as Unifor.

Amazon had previously faced legal difficulties as to how workers have dealt with the efforts of unionization. In May, the US National Labor Relations Board directed that the employees made several unfair labor applications after the unionization in the staten Island warehouse. A violation involved in suspending a worker for 10 weeks due to his position as a union leader.

And in January, Amazon announced that he would close a series of warehouses in Quebec – a decision in one of the workers in one of these facilities less than a year after a year. The Canadian government condemned the movement and threatened to review his contracts with Amazon.
