Greed We Don’t Need – Boycott Amazon
February 15 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
On January 22, Amazon announced it is closing its seven warehouses in Québec and outsourcing its operations, eliminating more than 4,500 jobs. This anti-union move violates provincial and federal labour laws.
Our governments and public institutions must set an example: they shouldn’t do business with a company that flouts our laws. We must stop enriching this rogue U.S. multinational.
The CSN is calling on Québec City, Ottawa, municipalities and all public agencies to stop buying from Amazon and cancel all contracts with Amazon, including cloud services. Those dollars should go to local businesses that respect our laws—and our tax system.
The CSN is also calling on the members of its unions and all workers and the general public to support local businesses and stop buying from Amazon.
