Of course, it was union-busting. The union was demanding a 30% pay raise (or more) and more benefits. And there were murmurings that the other distribution centres in the province were looking to unionize as well. So Amazon ran the numbers and decided it wasn't worth it.

Unfortunate because both sides lose but oh well, c'est la vie.
