Amazon has announced the closure of all seven of its warehouses in Quebec, resulting in the layoff of approximately 1,700 employees.
This move will affect various facilities in the greater Montreal area, including one fulfillment center, two sorting centers, and three delivery stations.
Amazon spokesperson Barbara Agrait stated that the closures are aimed at providing “even more savings to our customers over the long run.”
While Amazon has denied that the closures are related to these union activities, the timing has raised suspicions among labor advocates.
The layoffs will primarily impact permanent full-time employees, with an additional 250 temporary workers also affected as their contracts come to an end.
Quebec’s Premier François Legault expressed sadness over the decision and acknowledged the difficulties faced by the families impacted by the layoffs.
