A group of Amazon (AMZN) warehouse workers in Alberta are trying for a second time to
unionize.
Teamsters Local Union 362 says it has filed a second time for a unionization vote at the
Amazon warehouse in Nisku, south of Edmonton, Alberta.
The application must be certified by the Alberta Labour Relations Board before a vote can take
place.
The Teamsters attempted to form a union at the Nisku Amazon site last fall. But they were
unable to get their proposed vote certified after the labour relations board concluded they had
failed to reach the required threshold of signed union cards.
The Teamsters say this time they are confident they have reached the required threshold and
will be awarded a vote.
If successful, the workers at the Nisku warehouse will be the first Amazon employees in Canada
to vote on whether or not to unionize.
