Background
On April 19, 2024, the CSN filed an application with the Administrative Labour Tribunal (ALT) to represent the 230 employees at Amazon's DXT4 warehouse on Ernest-Cormier St. in Laval. On May 10, the ALT officially certified the union, recognizing that a majority of employees had joined. Bargaining with Amazon for a first collective agreement began in July. On January 22, 2025, Amazon announced it is closing its seven warehouses in Québec and outsourcing their operations, leading to the layoff of 4,700 workers.
