Episode Notes Former Amazon workers are asking for Quebec’s support this Amazon Prime Day. Gathered outside the Montreal office of the Ministry of Employment and Social Solidarity (MESS), around a dozen people told reporters that the provincial government has refused to meet with them after the company shuttered its seven warehouses in the province last winter. The layoffs came as workers at the YUL warehouse in Laval were preparing to force Amazon into first contract negotiations. YUL was Amazon’s first union shop in Canada. MESS did not immediately comment when reached by CKUT.
