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.
