The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Unifor says the B.C. Labour Relations Board has awarded union certification to workers at an Amazon facility in Delta. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says the workers will now begin the process of negotiating a first contract. Unifor national president Lana Payne says the workers organized against difficult odds. The union had applied to certify the facility for unionization last year, but the results of that vote were sealed owing to an unfair-labour-practices complaint the union filed, alleging Amazon accelerated hiring to try to dilute union support. Amazon denied those allegations. However, Unifor says the board agreed with the union that certification of the union was the only reasonable remedy. Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said the board's decision was wrong and that the company plans to appeal.
