Labour Board Orders Binding Arbitration for Amazon Union Agreement

Amazon has suffered another setback in its fight against unionization in British Columbia, Canada. The Labour Board has ordered the company to binding arbitration for a first union collective agreement.

The ruling comes after Amazon's attempts to block the certification of a union at one of its warehouses in B.C.

The Labour Board bound the company to a first union collective agreement by arbitration, which means that the terms of the agreement will be decided through a neutral third-party process rather than through direct negotiations between the company and the union.
