Because of the high number of work-related accidents, many of our co-workers are regularly absent from work without pay.
Under Québec’s occupational health and safety laws, every employer is required to report work-related accidents and ask the CNESST to pay compensation to employees who have to miss work as a result.
What about Amazon? Instead of sending us to a doctor, AmCare gives us an Advil and sends us home without pay.
By not reporting work accidents, Amazon avoids paying penalties to the CNESST because of its high accident rate. Amazon makes huge profits, at the expense of the health and safety of its employees.
Join the union. It’s confidential – and it always will be!
Sections 12, 15 and 36 of the Labour Code are very clear:
· Amazon will never know who signed a union card
· It is strictly illegal to fire an employee for union activity or for joining a union
