Unifor begins union campaign for Canadian Amazon workers, starting in Metro Vancouver
“There is an old adage in the labour movement, ‘United we bargain, divided we beg,’” said Gavin McGarrigle, Unifor’s Western Regional Director. “We are here to announce an exciting development in bringing union representation to the workers at Amazon in B.C. and all across the country.”
Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. “Amazon workers are frustrated with issues like workload, health and safety. Starting , they can privately contact a Unifor organizer to learn more and digitally sign a union card,” McGarrigle said. “They are tired of not being respected. We are going to bring a union to Amazon workers.”It will be the first Amazon-worker union in Canada.
