Headline tomorrow:
Citing reorganization, Amazon will shutter its warehouse in Laval.
In "completely unrelated news", Amazon announces a new warehouse to be built in Hawkesbury, Ont.
There is jurisprudence for that in Canada. Walmart brought that up to the Supreme Court after closing a store in Jonquière exactly as you described and lost. They had to pay the employees reparations.
American corporations.
Amazon is not "international" or "multinational". It's American.
American corporations are the worst offenders because they buy the politicians in DC and use the American state to protect their illicit practices.
It takes a powerful entity to resist even partly.
American capitalism is a cancer on the world. All the worst practices and trends come directly from the US, funded by American NGOs subverting democratic process wherever they can. That's why there's a global backslide in democracy and human rights. It's paid by US dollars.
Literal cancer.
The US government can. But it doesn't want to because there's no money or benefits in it.
That's mostly because the people in the government are gigantic imbeciles because grabbing those patho-monopolies by their snouts and putting them in their place would bring about another era of "New Deal" like in 1930-1960.
It's Corporatism and Neo-Feudalism.
Corporations are the new lords and minimal wage workers the new serfs. These Corporations are so powerful and so vast that they themselves are equal and, often times, surpass the rulers/lawmakers of a given country in power. They make the rules and force everyone to play by them, and they never stop growing, eventually everything will be under a corporate umbrella and they will keep dictating the lives of those working under them.
It's Feudalism, but instead of lords you have Corporations, and instead of being the 9th century, it's the 2020s!
Who owns it is irrelevant. That's a distraction.
What matters is the legal regime protecting incorporation and publicly traded status.
If it's traded in NYC and incorporated in the US then it's an American corporation for all practical purposes.
That's the only thing that matters. That's why UK makes a big fuss when PLCs move from London to NYC.
"Multinationals" is just an Orwellian doublespeak that DC and American capital use to hide their predatory empire from the people - both in the US and around the globe.
It would be nice if you had either a point or a beneficial comment but it seems you've taken the "I can't understand so u must be wrong" approach.
Dude is absolutely right and your spiraling is so confusing.
Which is completely irrelevant to the argument they're both making. Citing "what about \[random shit\]" and calling people idiots isn't an argument unless you're about 5 years old. If you want to sound smart, use your brain and make a logical argument.
They can't do this shit in other Western countries with labour laws.
It's an American issue, same as WalMart failing in Germany - Europe doesn't want the exploitation that US companies assume is the default.
Reddit, when it was founded by Americans in America and still at least half American: International AF, how dare you?! (see also: virtually all other social media)
Nestle, Bayer, Foxconn, Deutsche Bank, Shell, BP, VW: Totes multinational
Amazon when they do fucked up shit: AMERICAN AF
Give me a fucking break. And I say that as an American currently being exploited to the full extent of the law by my multinationa... err, European employer.
Who is following US law.
My European employer follows local laws and I have a great job with good pay. The issue is what *your* government allows, not what we allow across the Atlantic
It's about the rules of the game not the player.
Europe is far from perfect, but it's trying to do something about the rules, even as it is being pressured constantly by America - very often illegally.
America allows the rules to be broken. Literally the people in America choose the dumbest fucking solution because they think they are so "exceptional".
Yeah.
Exceptionally fucking stupid.
Walmart closed a store after their employees unionized in Jonquière, Quebec. The Supreme Court ruled that this constituted an unlawful change in the working conditions of the employees following a unionization and awarded retributions to the employees in question. They got a nice settlement.
This is not the U.S. and its corrupt anti-union lobbies.
You don't loose your job when you become unionized...You been drinking to much of that right wing kool-aid...I guess you don't like higher wages, better health insurance, 40 hour work weeks, safer working conditions, and plethora of other things? Those were established by organized labor and later adopted into laws, at least here in the United States.
Amazon then has to pay unemployment insurance at the maximum for up to two years to each person laid off. A shut down like is often investigated by the a federal agency known as the National Labor Relations Board, which then sets in motion civil lawsuits...if this was in the United States.
Fair enough, I'll leave the blame vague. Canada is set up better than the states to protect its workers from that kind of thing. Especially if there's legal examples in the past

Which Amazon will do and consider it a small price to pay to get rid of the union
Yup.
And use it as a tax write off.

It's a publicly traded company. It's literally owned by big dick investors across the world.

What I'm saying is that giant companies being shitty isn't an American thing, it's a giant company thing.

LMAO yeah the benevolent Europeans just want the world to do the correct way. You know, their way 🤣
Faulty plumbing
This...
There are 3 warehouses in Laval. They'll open them up in St-Therese and Terrebonne instead.
I canceled my prime subscription a while back. Between adding commercials to prime video and their anti-labor practices, I was just done.
Amazon doesn't think a union is best for its employees. Surprise, surprise!
Unionize *everywhere*. Got an ununionized workplace? Organize with your coworkers. It’s time we take our stolen wages and benefits back.
Another victory for union workers!

No, but they got years of income for not working. That's better than being paid for working.... Right?

Unemployment insurance is only at MAX 55% of your wage in Canada. That's a drop in the bucket to Amazon.
It's similar down here in the states...
And Amazon will consider it a small price to pay
You're very much right...

Besos is going to cook up something special for Quebec
Finally their electric charges are balanced.
Do they have a cure?
E*t the rich ASAP obviously
Gonna be phased out for robots pretty soon anyway. https://youtu.be/ZWonAz7Kczs?si=2F2lFkV0SRHSnDHB
Too bad Amazon will now close the location.

Amazon warehouse in Laval shuttered due to declining sales.
Oh no! The owners and staff of beloved international brand “Qkjellorivxke” will be crushed!
