Now is the time to draw inspiration from wherever we can, and stand with workers while they fight the employer-led race to the bottom.

    We should all stop using Amazon, first and foremost, then we should move to Canadian alternatives.

      I don’t use Amazon. But plenty of other businesses use Uber Eats and other gig worker couriers.

      There’s no getting the genie back in the bottle on couriers. No one is paying $70,000/year (what their salary would be if they win the labour dispute) postal workers for delivering parcels.

      Not really an option. Thanks to the insane cost of living and the federal government allowing Amazon to undercut Canadian business a lot of people can literally not afford to buy from anywhere else.

      This shit needs to be addressed at the federal level.
