B.C. Labour Board Upholds Union Certification at Amazon’s Delta Warehouse

A board panel ruled that Amazon’s hiring surge, which included deliberate employee-list padding, constituted a fundamental attack on associational rights

Overview

  • The Board dismissed Amazon’s appeal and reaffirmed its July order granting Unifor remedial certification at the Delta, B.C., facility
  • Panel members found Amazon “knowingly and improperly” inflated its workforce and ran a targeted anti-union campaign to dilute worker support
  • The decision highlights the Board’s power under the B.C. Labour Code to use remedial certification to counter employer interference
  • Unifor National President Lana Payne called the ruling a clear warning to employers against obstructing union drives
  • Amazon has vowed to pursue further appeals, arguing the order is “wrong on the facts and the law” and undermines employees’ informed choice
