(Montreal) The bus drivers of the Société de transport de Laval will go on strike again next week. The strike will take place from May 3 at 4 a.m. to May 10 at 4 a.m.
Posted at 12:18 p.m.
Essential services will be maintained during weekdays. However, there will be no bus service during the weekend of May 7 and 8, said the Administrative Labor Tribunal, which gave its approval to the list of essential services to be maintained during the strike.
Thus, during strike days, all bus routes will be maintained from 6 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. (time of the last departure) for the morning rush hour.
For the afternoon rush hour, service will be maintained from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. In the evening, bus service will be maintained from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. (last departure time).
The bus drivers of the Société de transport de Laval, members of a local section of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) affiliated with the FTQ, had already walked off the job last November.
Negotiations for the renewal of the collective agreement for 625 bus drivers have been going on for several months already. The dispute is mainly about wages.
