Félix Trudeau, member of Workers' Alliance and president of the STTAL--CSN, the first Amazon union in Canada, spoke to The North Star outside an Intelcom warehouse in the Saint-Laurent neighbourhood of Montreal.

"We came here to take action to denounce Amazon's subcontracting of jobs to Intelcom, to other subcontractors like it. It's a scam aimed at continuing the exploitation of workers in Quebec," he explained. Workers' Alliance is calling for sanctions against Amazon, compensation for laid-off workers, and for the Quebec parliament to pass a special law to seize assets and ban the multinational's activities from its territory.
