Amazon recently closed several distribution centers in Quebec – costing 4,500 people their jobs – and the timing is no coincidence. Workers had just begun unionizing when the company abruptly shut down the warehouses. Now, right before the holidays, thousands of families across Quebec are left without paychecks, without support, and without answers.
Families are now scrambling. Unemployment benefits are running out. Some workers are even being dragged into court by Amazon, while the trillion dollar corporation continues operating through subcontractors working under even worse conditions.
Sign now to demand Amazon reverse these illegal, retaliatory closures and restore every job immediately!
Union leaders say the truth is clear: Amazon closed these warehouses to crush the first successful effort to unionize an Amazon facility in Canada. Court hearings show the closures coincided directly with workers organizing. Retaliation like this is illegal under Quebec law.
This is the human cost of corporate retaliation. Warehouse workers, drivers, and staff have been discarded overnight in the middle of the busiest shopping season of the year.
Amazon is a company worth more than a trillion dollars. It can afford to treat workers with dignity. It can also afford to follow the law.
If Amazon gets away with closing its warehouses simply because workers exercised their right to organize, what message does that send to every other employer in Canada?
Sign the petition to stand with the workers who make Amazon possible, stand against corporate intimidation, and stand for union rights.
