The British Columbia Labour Relations Board has upheld its previous decision granting union certification to Unifor at an Amazon facility in Delta, B.C. The board found Amazon intentionally increased its employee roster to dilute union support during a membership drive, thereby manipulating the employee list to avoid certification. Despite Amazon’s claims of an operational need for additional staff, the panel ruled the company’s actions constituted interference with employees’ associational rights, justifying the remedial certification. Amazon plans to appeal the decision, while Unifor prepares to negotiate a collective agreement for the workers.
