Overview
Amazon announced the closure of its seven warehouses in Quebec, affecting around 1,700 full-time jobs. This decision follows the unionization of workers at one site, prompting allegations of an anti-union strategy from the involved Canadian labor union. The company plans to revert to a third-party delivery model, which it used before 2020, and is offering impacted employees severance packages. Canadian officials expressed significant concern over the closures, which mirror historical labor disputes in the region.
