MONTRÉAL — Quebec Superior Court has rejected a motion by Amazon filed in connection with the company’s challenge to unionization efforts at its now-shuttered Laval warehouse. A union affiliated with the CSN was certified in May 2024, before the e-commerce giant shuttered all seven of its warehouses in the province. Amazon had challenged the unionization, arguing the process violated workers’ freedom of association because a secret vote was not held. Latest updates on company news hereAmazon argued that this violated the right of workers to freedom of association, but Quebec’s administrative labour tribunal ruled in October 2024 that the company didn’t have standing to invoke that right on behalf of others. Amazon challenged the decision on procedural fairness grounds, asserting that it had not been given the opportunity to fully present its position. Quebec Superior Court, however, has upheld the labour tribunal’s decision and dismissed the challenge.

The Superior Court has just rejected a request from Amazon, which was contesting a decision of the Administrative Labour Tribunal, in the broader case of the unionization of employees at its Laval warehouse. A union from the Federation of Commerce, affiliated with the CSN, had been recognized by the Administrative Labour Tribunal within this establishment in May 2024. Since then, it has been closed, like the other warehouses of the retail giant in Quebec, with Amazon claiming to want to change its business model.
