January 22: Amazon to close it's Quebec facilities
Amazon announced on Wednesday it will shutter its facilities in Quebec in the coming weeks and cut nearly 2,000 jobs, 1,700 of which were permanent positions.
A company spokesperson said Amazon will outsource deliveries to smaller contractors. The spokesperson insisted that the decision was tied to cost savings — not the recent unionization of employees at a Laval, Que., warehouse.
* Laval (DXT4), Saint-Hubert (HYU1), Lachine (DXT6) and Laval (DXT5) closes Feb. 8.
* Saint-Hubert (YUL5): 371 employees, closes Feb. 15.
* Lachine (YUL2): 358 employees, closes March 15.
* Coteau-du-Lac (YUL9): 356 employees, closes March 22.
The first amazon Quebec facility was opened in 2020.
