Fuck you Amazon. I’m going to inconvenience myself a lot more from now on to stop giving you money.
Maybe having some laws that if a company decides to close a business after unionization then any remaining Canadian company assets are taxed at a rate to pay a reasonable living wage to those displaced. The alternative being complete withdrawal from the country.

I did not want to mix this with my other comment.
Globalization is collective bargaining in reverse. As we see here, if you unionize, the company just moves somewhere else. If you passed any of the laws you propose here, the company would simply avoid Canada all together. The outcome of that, zero jobs, is the same as what is happening now. Not an improvement.
As long as there are “other” workers and jurisdictions lining up to replace us, that “willing” replacement labour is the problem. It will be robots soon.
By the way, you get “arrested” for breaking the law. The “legal” responsibility of the CEO is to maximum returns for investors. We live in a system where the laws are the exact opposite of what you are proposing.
I do not see a legal solution that helps. A social movement will not help.
The only solution is investors.

I regret not getting back to this sooner. Still, I want to extend my hand in solidarity. I too am enraged.
Even better, having laws that above a certain size, companies MUST have unions.
Fuck that would fix so many problems
Good, keep forming unions and keep making them shut down facilities. They’re shitty places to work and fund a shitty human being, who funds other shitty human beings.
Using the website keeps getting more and more shitty to use. Try to not fund them, folks.
Yep, they should def keep forming unions. I like Amazon though. It’s been a great employer in my town.
The solution would be easy if everyone would do it. Stop buying from Amazon. I’m trying to buy anything I need directly from the provider or at good old fashioned stores.
It’s pretty difficult to find a variety of things without using an evil big store, but nowadays people can use a temporary card service or a paypal service to shop at a variety of smaller specialist online stores with minimal risk of fraud anyways.
The rich love convincing themselves (and the general population) that the working class and therefore society at large depends entirely on them and on their gracious “job creating” generosity to not only survive, but exist.
In reality it is the exact opposite that is true - without the workers to exploit, they are nothing, and if the workers of the world unite, we can get rid of them, and their oppressive systems, for good.
Imagine the shock and awe they would experience when that finally happens.
