Amazon has allegedly fired 4,500 workers in Quebec after closing multiple distribution centers just as employees began unionizing. The closures happened right before the holidays, leaving thousands of families without income during the most expensive time of year. Workers say the timing was no accident and that the shutdowns were meant to stop the first successful union effort at Amazon in Canada.
Union leaders point to court hearings showing the closures directly overlapped with organizing efforts. Retaliation like this is illegal under Quebec labor law. Some workers are now facing legal action from Amazon itself, while the company continues operating through subcontractors with reportedly worse conditions. This is a trillion dollar corporation that can afford to follow the law and respect workers.
