As the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) store closures in Canada loom, so do massive job losses. Distribution centres are expected to shut down on June 15, which is when approximately 899 of the remaining Hudson's Bay workers are expected to be terminated. In March, one of the unions representing the Bay employees in Canada demanded that the company pay workers severance amid liquidation. Unifor Locals 40 and 240 represent around 595 HBC employees at stores in Windsor, Kitchener, Toronto's Sherway Gardens, and workers at the company's e-commerce warehouse in Scarborough. The union has organized rallies in the respective locations on Tuesday, calling on Hudson's Bay to "honour its obligations to employees by protecting wages, pensions, and benefits."
