Deliveries blocked at five Intelcom warehouses across Quebec (thenorthstar.media)

Félix Trudeau, member of Workers' Alliance and president of the STTAL--CSN, the first Amazon union in Canada, spoke to The North Star outside an Intelcom warehouse in the Saint-Laurent neighbourhood of Montreal.

"We came here to take action to denounce Amazon's subcontracting of jobs to Intelcom, to other subcontractors like it. It's a scam aimed at continuing the exploitation of workers in Quebec," he explained. Workers' Alliance is calling for sanctions against Amazon, compensation for laid-off workers, and for the Quebec parliament to pass a special law to seize assets and ban the multinational's activities from its territory.

Things are gonna get spicy. Before the trade war, I suspect many people would grumble that the packages should get through. Now though?

I wish unions everywhere else weren't so shitty. But Quebec is on track to weaken its provincial unions through legislation. Here is a link to the bill, Bill 89.

More info from this article here; The Maple does good work that is then covered by bigger, lazier publications.
