VANCOUVER — Unifor has filed two applications to represent Vancouver-area Amazon workers with the B.C. Labour Relations Board.
The union said in a press release Wednesday that it has filed applications for an Amazon fulfilment centre in New Westminster and one in Delta.
Unifor first announced a union drive for Amazon workers in Metro Vancouver last July, and says workers began signing cards in October. But today, that warehouse remains the only U.S. site that has voted to unionize, and it doesn’t have a contract yet as the retail giant is resisting efforts to bargain.
Unifor said that the labour relations board will determine whether a vote is needed to certify the applications.
