Futures Slip Again as Markets Brace for More Volatility After Davos

  U.S. stock futures edged lower early Wednesday, extending the unease that followed a sharp sell‑off in the previous session. Dow futures dipped, S&P 500 futures softened, and Nasdaq futures also slipped as investors continued to process the market’s sudden shift in sentiment. The downturn comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His remarks, delivered against a backdrop of global uncertainty, did little to calm investors already rattled by geopolitical tensions and renewed concerns about the economic outlook. Tuesday’s sell‑off marked one of the most turbulent trading days in recent months, driven by a flight to safety and heightened anxiety across global markets. With futures pointing lower again, traders appear to be bracing for another cautious session as they look for signs of stability.

Amazon's Union Efforts in Quebec Meet Resistance

 


In a surprising turn of events, Amazon has announced the closure of all seven of its warehouses in Quebec, resulting in nearly 2,000 job losses. This decision comes just months after workers at a warehouse in Laval successfully unionized, marking the first unionized Amazon workforce in Canada. Despite Amazon's insistence that the closures are unrelated to the unionization efforts, many are skeptical, viewing this move as a direct attempt to quash the union push.

The closures have sparked outrage among workers and union leaders, who argue that Amazon is trying to send a message to other employees considering unionization. Quebec's Labour Minister has vowed to ensure that Amazon respects all labour laws, while federal officials are calling for a review of Ottawa's business relationship with the company.

As the debate continues, the future of unionization efforts at Amazon remains uncertain. What is clear, however, is that the fight for workers' rights in Quebec is far from over.
