Overview
- Bus and Metro service will run normally this weekend after the planned two-day walkout was cancelled.
- SCFP 1983 said it reached an agreement in principle with the STM around 7 p.m. Friday following seven days of intensive talks.
- The deal will not be finalized until ratified by the STM board and by roughly 4,500 drivers, metro operators and station agents, and no terms are being released before those votes.
- The STM’s essential-service designation meant strike service levels were reviewed and approved by Quebec’s labour tribunal, the TAT.
- Labour tensions persist, with about 1,300 administrative, technical and professional employees planning a two-day strike starting Wednesday.
