Canadian union Unifor has disclosed that the British Columbia Labour Relations Board has ruled that Amazon engaged in the illegal withholding of scheduled wage adjustments for employees at its Delta warehouse.

The investigation confirmed that the e-commerce giant failed to implement the scheduled wage increases for warehouse employees as planned, violating labor regulations. The ruling requires Amazon to immediately pay the owed wage increases and to reassess its compensation management system. This dispute highlights the regulatory pressures on labor rights faced by tech giants during rapid expansion, and may also have a ripple effect on Amazon's labor costs and corporate reputation in Canada.
