First Amazon Warehouse in Canada Achieves Union Certification

Quebec's labour tribunal grants union accreditation to workers at Laval facility, marking a significant milestone

Approximately 200 employees at the Laval warehouse will be represented by the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN).
Amazon is contesting the decision, arguing that workers were misled and that the process violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The CSN will hold a general assembly to adopt a constitution, bylaws, and elect representatives.
Experts suggest that while this is a promising start, significant improvements in working conditions will require more widespread unionization.
Amazon has a history of opposing unionization efforts at its facilities globally, including in the US and Europe.
