(Montreal) A strike threat hangs over the Société des alcools du Québec.
Some 800 union members work in SAQ warehouses and supply SAQ points of sale who would be affected by a walkout, if any.
These workers, members of a local union of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), affiliated with the FTQ, have just voted 94% in favor of pressure tactics that could go as far as a strike.
These are not the employees of the SAQ branches, who are members of another union, but those who supply these points of sale.
The collective agreement expired on 1er last April.
