Photos viewed by The Canadian Press of Amazon’s Montreal warehouse’s employee break room show posters plastered on each of the transparent walls that divide the dining tables
A major labour union in Quebec is calling recent action by the management of an Amazon warehouse in Montreal “tactics of intimidation and harassment” that interfere with a recently launched unionization campaign.
“We encourage you to speak for yourself,” the posters say. “We do not believe that we need a third party between us.” “It’s a question of balance,” Pare said in a recent interview. Amazon’s approach, he added, reflects an American mentality that won’t fly in Quebec. If more than half of the 250 to 300 employees at the warehouse sign a membership card, the Quebec labour relations commission can certify the union.
Amazon Canada spokeswoman Ryma Boussoufa said in a statement that the company doesn’t think “unions are the best answer for our employees.” But she added: “No person in our organization will ever force, intimidate, threaten, make promises or unduly influence our employees’ decision to join a union, or not join a union, and any allegations of this nature are simply unfounded.”
