Amazon’s YVR2 warehouse workers in British Columbia became the first Amazon logistics employees in North America to work under a collective agreement, which includes a 3.25% raise in October 2027, another 3.5% a year later, and an extra week of vacation for anyone with at least 10 years of service. The three-year contract came after an arbitrator imposed terms between Amazon and Unifor, a process the province’s labour board ordered in August once talks stalled. The board had already certified the union without a vote in July 2025 after finding that Amazon ran an anti-union campaign. Amazon argued in a blog post that first-year union dues of up to C$1,064 could leave some workers with less take-home pay, and VP J. Ofori Agboka said the company will keep contesting the contract in court.
