Radio-Canada pauses Amazon partnership after public backlash, demonstration
-
Félix Trudeau, president of the STTAL-CSN, Canada’s first Amazon warehouse union, found the partnership especially troubling given the company’s decision to close its Quebec warehouses last year in response to the successful unionization campaign:
“I find it incredibly cynical, because when we were running a more active, more intense boycott campaign [last year] and it was all over the media, the government was saying it would cut contracts and talked about breaking off from Amazon. Now, a year later, we can see that it was all just empty promises. It was hollow. As soon as they feel like they can go back to business as usual, they do. It’s a real stab in the back for the laid-off workers.”
