Amazon.com is terminating its operations in Quebec, resulting in the closure of seven sites and approximately 1,700 full-time job losses, including around 250 seasonal positions. This shift will restore a third-party delivery model similar to pre-2020 operations, aimed at reducing costs for customers. The move particularly impacts unionized employees at the warehouse, who have previously raised concerns about wages and safety conditions. In response, the CSN labor union expressed discontent, claiming the decision targets unionized workers and lacks sound business rationale.
"Following a recent review of our Quebec operations, we've seen that returning to a third-party delivery model ... will allow us to provide even more savings to our customers."
The CSN, which represents 300 workers at the site north of Montreal, said in a statement on Wednesday that Amazon's decision made no business sense and directly targets the company's only unionized warehouse in Canada.
