The Syndicat des cols bleus regroupés de Montréal (CUPE 301) started a second strike section Wednesday morning as contract negotiations with the Metropolis of Montreal stay at an deadlock.
The three-day work stoppage runs till Saturday at 6 a.m.
It follows a earlier one-day strike in February, which marked the primary walkout by Montreal blue-collar staff in additional than 15 years.
Whereas the events have reached agreements on normative clauses, the union says negotiations have stalled over town’s monetary framework, which it describes as insufficient within the context of a rising price of residing.
As a part of the primary day of the strike, CUPE 301 president Jean-Pierre Lauzon is scheduled to carry a press convention to offer an replace on the standing of talks.
“In current weeks, we have now put all our efforts into reaching an settlement on the bargaining desk. Regardless of our proposals and our openness, the Metropolis has remained rigid. We’re able to collaborate, however by no means to the detriment of the standard of lifetime of blue-collar staff,” stated Lauzon.
