‘Stop buying from Amazon:’ Union demands boycott of retailer giant after thousands of Quebec layoffs
The union representing the workers at an Amazon warehouse in Laval that is closing – one of seven Quebec Amazon warehouses shutting its doors and laying off all employees – says it’s time to boycott the online retailer.
Amazon Faces Boycott for Closing Quebec Warehouses
Amazon is facing growing backlash in Quebec following its January 2025 decision to shutter all seven of its warehouses in the province. The closures, set to unfold over the next two months, will eliminate approximately 4,500 jobs, including full-time positions and subcontractors.
A protest against the mass layoffs of thousands of people is underway at the Amazon warehouse in Laval Wednesday morning.
The battle lines have been drawn in a growing feud between Amazon and its Quebec workers as the union readies a lawsuit over the company's province-wide facility closures.
Tabitha, who has lucrative contracts with both Target and Walmart, says that boycotting these major companies could actually hurt Black-owned businesses.
