Amazon.com Inc. will shut down all warehouses and lay off employees in the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec. The decision comes less than a year after workers at one of those facilities unionized.
The online retailer plans to use subcontractors, such as Montreal-based Intelcom Courrier Canada Inc., in the province instead.
