Here's that Bezos / carpet-bagger item: Wow. I gather Mr. Bezos brazenly fancies himself some form of a latter day Canadian railroad baron. Damn. [This would have been a second, and much larger, unionized facility in Quebec -- see legacy graphic below, left.]
I suppose he thinks he's at least a lil' like Elon -- can do whatever he likes. He's in for a rude awakening, on this. [And do consider his on record statements, about stepping away from inclusive workforce initiatives, here in the US.] Here's The Hill, on it all:
. . .Last week, Amazon made a stunning decision to shutter its operations in Quebec, laying off approximately 2,000 workers. The reason? Workers at the company’s facilities in the Canadian province had just unionized.
This move -- clear and brazen retaliation against organized labor -- has reverberated beyond Canada’s borders. It’s not just a story about Quebec, Amazon or the 2,000 workers who now face sudden unemployment. It’s a global story -- one with significant implications for the U.S. and the broader fight for workers’ rights. . . .
To be clear, this is in no small measure why -- at Raptors games played up north now, the Canadian fans have taken (since the end of January) to booing, when the US national anthem is played, after "Oh! Canada". Holy smokes. Out.
