CUPW joins Progressive International in a global movement with worker, tech, and climate justice organizations and advocacy groups collaborating across borders to #makeamazonpay on November 26th Prime Day.
Amazon continued to expand its global reign as a multinational, pandemic profiting corporation in 2021. It’s changing the global economy, advancing the nature of work and work management, contributing to environmental degradation, and disproportionately affects communities.
The growth of Amazon Fulfillment, Delivery Service Provider Stations, and Flex Delivery Stations has been incremental over the pandemic in Canada.
Third party delivery companies have grown due to the need for prime service delivery needs, and the final mile market is slowly diminishing for Canada Post and CUPW members. While the online and direct to customer delivery work grows with Amazon online retail sales and small business marketing, Canada Post has more competition, and the logistics of delivery is changing rapidly, putting downward pressure on our hard earned working conditions.
To continue to be a strong national union depends on our ability to organize and influence the logistics, warehousing and delivery sectors. This is about our future, our work, and continuing to set the bar for strong unionized worker jobs.
