Quebec union group urges Amazon boycott after warehouse closure announcement
By Canadian Press on February 4, 2025.
MONTREAL — A Quebec labour group is urging governments and the public to boycott Amazon after the retail giant announced the closure of its seven warehouses in the province.
CSN president Caroline Senneville describes Amazon’s January decision to close the facilities as an attempt to shut down unionization efforts and to avoid signing its first North American collective agreement.
The Confédération des syndicats nationaux says the closures, which come after workers at an Amazon warehouse in a Montreal suburb unionized in May, will eliminate 4,500 jobs at the online retailer and its subcontractors.
Amazon has dismissed the suggestion that the closures are linked to a unionization push in the province and has said they are aimed at delivering efficient and cost-effective services to customers.
The union confederation is asking all levels of government as well as public and parapublic agencies to stop buying from Amazon and to cancel all contracts with the company and its subsidiaries.
The union says it also plans to take legal action again Amazon, arguing the company’s move violates articles of the provincial Labour Code dealing with obstruction of union activities.
