Dear Community Members,
We are pleased to announce an important improvement in how purchases from Amazon for university purposes will be made. To enhance efficiency and ensure compliance, all Amazon orders will now be processed through the 黑料不打烊 Marketplace (MMP). By transitioning University purchases from Amazon to an MMP catalogue, we are enhancing how the university manages purchases, ensuring a more efficient, transparent, and responsible procurement process.
Amazon warehouse workers in the Staten Island borough of New York City voted to unionize on Friday, marking the first successful U.S. organizing effort in the online retail giant's history and handing an unexpected win to a nascent group that fueled the union drive. ()听

Amazon.com Inc. could be facing its first unionization battle in Canada after a Teamsters local filed for a union vote for workers at the e-commerce giant鈥檚 fulfilment centre near Edmonton. If the Alberta Labour Relations Board verifies application, all workers at the YEG 1 fulfilment centre in Nisku, Alberta, who were employed as of September 13 will be able to vote on joining the union. In order to have a union vote filing approved in Alberta, the union must demonstrate 40 per cent of workers at a given job site have signed a petition for union representation.
