US EditionAmazon, worker union before Quebec labour tribunal over warehouse closures
- A Quebec labour tribunal began hearings in May 2025 on Amazon's January closure of seven warehouses in Quebec, affecting about 1,700 workers.
- The closures followed a union drive at the Montreal-area Laval facility, and Amazon maintains the shutdowns aimed to improve service efficiency, not respond to unionization.
- The union, Confédération des syndicats nationaux , seeks to reverse the shutdowns and demands Amazon pay one year's salary to all affected employees.
- Amazon requested the tribunal to limit the case to 287 unionized workers at Laval, excluding six non-unionized warehouses from the hearing scope.
- Hearings will occur intermittently over several months, with outcomes possibly impacting labour relations and compensation for the dismissed Quebec warehouse workers.
