Montreal blue-collar workers to strike for 3 days in April
Montreal blue-collar workers, represented by CUPE affiliated with FTQ, strike over unresolved wage disputes despite settled contract clauses, marking first multi-day walkout since February.
- Blue-Collar workers in the City of Montreal announced three more strike days for mid-April, escalating their labor dispute with municipal management over wages.
- The collective bargaining agreement expired on Dec. 31, 2024, with wages remaining the primary point of contention between municipal management and the union.
- CUPE 301 president Jean Pierre Lauzaon rejected the City's 11 per cent offer over five years, arguing it would cause the "impoverishment of workers" amid rising living costs.
- Scheduled from 6 a.m. on Wednesday, April 15, to 6 a.m. on Saturday, April 18, the walkout awaits an Administrative Labor Tribunal ruling on Essential services sufficiency.
- While the union reported on Friday that normative clauses have been settled, Jean Pierre Lauzaon stated the union will "continue to negotiate in good faith" to reach agreement.
