Amazon violated labour code with selective pay increase to B.C. workers, board finds

The B.C. Labour Relations Board ordered Amazon to retroactively apply wage increases to about 800 unionized Delta workers after finding labour code violations amid anti-union practices.

  • On Feb. 17, 2026 the B.C. Labour Relations Board found Amazon violated the labour code by excluding Delta workers from pay raises and ordered retroactive increases.
  • Last year the labour board found Amazon had run a 'lengthy and pervasive anti-union campaign' targeting workers with English as a second language, and it fought complaints 'every step of the way' after filing last September.
  • Union officials say the ruling will likely cost Amazon over $1 million, and Gavin McGarrigle called it 'good news' for roughly 800 workers whose wages had been wrongfully frozen.
  • Given the board's prior finding, Unifor says it remains focused on a collective agreement and evaluating violations at other facilities, amid ongoing disputes with Amazon.
  • By ordering retroactive pay, the B.C. Labour Relations Board suggests Amazon may face further disputes as Unifor evaluates additional violations and negotiations continue.
