Episode Notes Amazon and the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) were back before Quebec’s labour tribunal today, for their second day of hearings on whether the multinational’s decision to outsource its Quebec’s labour force was above board. Amazon announced the layoff of its Quebec workforce and closure of its seven warehouses in the province back in January. The union says that some 4,500 workers, when contractors as well as full-time staff are taken into account, lost their jobs. The CSN is trying to convince Quebec’s labour tribunal that Amazon’s closures of its seven quebec warehouses was a union-busting tactic. Laval’s DXT4 warehouse was Amazon’s first union shop in Canada. CSN President Caroline Senneville joins CKUT to discuss. Amazon Public Relations did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CKUT.
