Unifor has filed an unfair labour practice complaint against Amazon ahead of a union vote. Unifor alleges Amazon ramped up hiring at a Delta
Unifor has filed an unfair labour practice complaint against Amazon amid a vote by workers at a Delta, B.C., warehouse over whether they want to join the union.
In the complaint, Unifor alleges Amazon ramped up hiring while the union was in the midst of a drive to get workers to sign union cards, increasing the workforce by about 30 per cent in a bid to dilute union support.
In B.C., if more than 55 per cent of eligible workers at a facility sign cards, union certification is granted automatically, while if the cards represent at least 45 per cent, a vote may be called instead. This is known as card-check certification, and B.C. and Quebec are among the jurisdictions that have it.
Amazon says the hiring was part of its regular seasonal recruitment, according to the complaint, but Unifor disputes this, saying the hiring spree represented a "concerted effort" to prevent the union from successfully organizing the warehouse.
Gavin McGarrigle, Unifor's western regional director, said the scale of Amazon's alleged anti-union efforts in this case is beyond anything he's experienced with other employers. [...]

Welcome to another episode of Media Outlets Publishing Their “Most Hated” Words Of The Past Year And Pretending Their Judgements Don’t Reek Of Bigotry And Irrational Fear Of The Youths!
Do yourself a favor and watch this video. It’s long (broken into chapters so you don’t have to watch the whole thing at once) but it goes very in-depth into just about everything to do with crypto and NFTs, what they are trying to do, what they think they can accomplish, and ultimately what they have actually done and what the problems are. I thought I was well-informed about this stuff but I only knew about half of this. It’s very well-researched and if I had my way it would be required viewing for everyone. There are also some fun cameos in the voice acting.
The American personal data collection company Acxiom advertises its services with the offer of a "360-degree view of your customers." The company gathers data on a consumer's behavior, marital status, job, hobbies, living standard and income. The algorithms applied are not that different to those of the National Security Agency.
Acxiom divides people into 70 categories based on economic parameters alone. The group that has very little in customer worth is called "waste."
"Big Data" enables prediction of human responses and the future, therefore, can be manipulated accordingly. Big Data has the ability to turn people into puppets. Big Data generates knowledge that enables ruling power. And it is Big Data that makes it possible to access and manipulate the human psyche without the affected person being aware of it. Big Data essentially spells the end of free will.
Today's politicians are asked to curtail the practice of collecting personal data of constituents in light of the danger this practice holds. Credit scoring companies have discriminatory power. The mere idea of economically evaluating a person goes against the ideal of human dignity. No one should be degraded to being an object of algorithm-based evaluation.
