The strike by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) at the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) has now reached 13 months and it is a dead end.
No negotiation meeting is planned between the parties in the short, medium or long term, union president David Clément said on Wednesday.
The indefinite strike of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), affiliated with the FTQ, began on May 28, 2022.
The walkout now affects 24 branches whose workers are CUPE members. Workers in two other branches represented by CUPE have, however, begun a first collective agreement arbitration process.
This is a special interest arbitration process, which consists of having the content of a first collective agreement defined by an arbitrator, when the parties cannot agree.
However, the walkout does not affect SQDC branches whose workers are not unionized or who are unionized but members of another union.
