The union that represents workers at what was Canada’s only unionized Amazon warehouse says the online retail giant has begun shutting down its seven facilities in Quebec this week, putting thousands of employees out of work.

Félix Trudeau, union president for the Laval, Que., warehouse that unionized last May, says the three warehouses in the Montreal area, including his own, were closed late Friday night, one day earlier than expected.
