Amazon to close 7 warehouses in Quebec, end 1,700 jobs in next 2 months

Online retailer Amazon said on Wednesday that it’s closing all seven of its warehouses in the Canadian province of Quebec in the next two months.

The e-commerce giant said the move would provide “even more savings to our customers over the long run”.

However, a Canadian union that successfully unionised one warehouse accused the company of closing its sites to fend off organising efforts in the region.
