Montreal workers are organizing to form the first Amazon union in Canada, and the second on the continent.
Amazon is hoping threats, surveillance, and propaganda will shut down the drive at its warehouse in Quebec, but that might not work this time.
Produced in partnership with CUTV Montreal.
The kind of journalism you appreciate
After working in Canadian media for nearly eight years, I’ve come to realize that “objectivity” is often a code word for passive, uncritical reporting.
I’m proud of our honest journalism. Instead of feigning objectivity, we’re open about our progressive values while maintaining rigorous standards.
If that sounds like the kind of journalism you appreciate, consider becoming a monthly sustainer. You'll help us deliver transformative journalism that’s accessible to everyone.
—Emma Paling, coordinating editor, The Breach
