Amazon has announced plans to close its operations in Quebec over the next two months. The decision will affect seven facilities, including a fulfillment center, two sorting centers, three delivery stations, and an extra-large delivery station.
The move will impact approximately 1,700 regular employees and 250 seasonal workers. Seasonal staff will be compensated until their contracts end, while regular employees will receive severance packages of up to 14 weeks of pay and access to transitional benefits, such as job placement assistance.
The company clarified that the closures are not linked to the unionization of 200 workers at a warehouse in Laval earlier this year.
