Canadian chain retailer Indigo Books and Music has rehired 545 of its workers after tapping into their federal government's emergency wage subsidy. The Toronto-based retailer had no choice but to temporarily fire off 5,200 of its retail employees and closed its retail locations in mid-March amid the outbreak of COVID-19. The 545 Indigo workers that are being rehired will be in salaried and leadership roles at retail locations. The decision to rehire came after a huge growth in its online traffic and ecommerce site.
