Amazon workers strike Canada
A cross the border, in the United States, thousands of Amazon employees are on strike. In Canada, workers have not yet taken to the streets, but the strike has had an impact on workers here.
Amazon Canada has laid off hundreds of workers, and more layoffs are expected. The company has also cut back on hours and benefits for some employees. The strike in the United States has also caused delays in shipments to Canada.
The strike is a sign of growing frustration among Amazon workers. The company has been criticized for its low wages, poor working conditions, and lack of unionization. The strike is a way for workers to demand better working conditions and a voice in the workplace.
In Canada, Amazon workers have been organizing for better working conditions for years. In 2021, workers at an Amazon warehouse in Ontario voted to unionize. The union is now negotiating a contract with the company.
The strike in the United States is a reminder that workers in Canada need to continue to organize for better working conditions. The strike is a sign that workers are not afraid to stand up for their rights.
