Le Massif Ski Resort Shuts Down as Workers Back Indefinite Strike

Union leaders say wages remain the key obstacle in stalled talks.

Overview

  • The resort suspended lifts, slopes and most services after roughly 300 unionized employees walked off the job.
  • Later Friday, union members voted 95% in favor of an unlimited general strike after initially holding a 10-day mandate.
  • The union alleges management withdrew from talks on the eve of the strike, a claim the resort disputes.
  • Resort management says the closure is for guest and staff safety and to maintain quality standards, and it apologized for disruptions.
  • Club Med Québec-Charlevoix at the base remains open as negotiations remain unresolved over pay, subcontracting, sick leave, safety and vacation time.
