A strike was called at the Kruger factory in Trois-Rivières during the night from Wednesday to Thursday.
The Unifor union, affiliated with the FTQ, which represents the approximately 300 workers concerned, reports that they launched the strike after having “massively” rejected the employer’s overall offer.
Salary is the main point in dispute.
Unifor reports that negotiations with the employer have been going on for several months.
Kruger management had not yet commented, as of this writing.
