[STATEMENT] IMA Canada Statement on Amazon's Decision to Shut Down Quebec Plants
We unequivocally condemn Amazon's recent decision to close its Quebec plants, a move that is a direct attack on the rights of workers to organize and unionize. The closure of all plants in Quebec not only jeopardizes the livelihoods of countless employees but also sends a chilling message to workers everywhere: that standing together for fair treatment and better working conditions can lead to retaliation by Amazon bosses.

The wars that the different imperialisms are carrying out in the world for a new geopolitical redistribution are forcing millions of people to flee.
