Here’s the STM Schedule During the Maintenance Worker Strike
Nearly 7,000 blue-collar city workers and 2,400 transit maintenance staff strike to demand contract improvements amid stalled negotiations, unions say.
- On Monday afternoon, workers from several unions demonstrated outside Montreal City Hall as Société de transport de Montréal maintenance staff entered their second week of strike since September 22, 2025.
- Nearly 7,000 blue-collar city workers have been without a contract since 2022 and union members approved a 98 per cent strike mandate after voting for pressure tactics in early September.
- STM's 2024 annual report shows a balanced budget aided by $36 million in optimization and returned $18 million to the ARTM, while Marie-Claude Léonard earned $474,324.
- Buses and subways will run only during peak hours and late at night on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, as negotiations continue on Monday with an STM counter-proposal.
- If the maintenance workers' union continues, the strike could last until Oct. 5, with 2,400 maintenance workers striking last week for the second time this year, risking disruption for Montrealers.
