Cool. If they decide to not have facilities in jurisdictions where they don’t want to pay workers fairly, we’d be better off without them. Have them pay for the higher freight costs instead. The money is gonna go to those workers instead.
Amazon is harmful in other ways so if their market share decreases as a function of higher freight costs and slower deliveries, that won’t be a bad thing.
It’s giving those deliveries to gig workers so they can’t bargain wages
Where are the packages being handed over to the gig workers though? If they have no local facility, they either have to ship from another province or rent capacity in someone else’s.
From what they are saying they won’t hold any inventory, just ship from local businesses
Strange. Is Amazon saying that? That doesn’t make sense. Amazon sells a lot of stuff that local businesses don’t have. They would still have to ship a lot of stuff out of province or from the US. If Amazon is saying this, I think it’s just a scare tactic.
