Amazon to close seven Quebec warehouses, laying off hundreds amid strained labor relations

Amazon is closing all seven of its warehouses in Quebec, resulting in nearly 2,000 layoffs over the next two months. The decision follows strained labor relations at its Laval facility, where workers successfully unionized earlier this year. While Amazon denies the closures are related to unionization, the move comes after a labor tribunal ruling in favor of the workers. Customers in Quebec will still be able to place orders, with delivery now handled by third-party companies.
