Montreal's Blue-Collar Workers Strike: Essential Services Secure

0:00Montreal's blue-collar workers are set for a three-day strike starting at 6 a.m. on April 15th through 6 a.m. on April 18th. Quebec's administrative labor tribunal just gave the green light to the essential services list that the city and the union hashed out together. This means the strike can roll without major disruptions to public health or safety, as the tribunal sees the plan as solid enough. Garbage collection takes a hit in most spots, but regular crews handle it in the Mercier Hashelaga, Maisonouv Burrow on the 15th, while other areas rely on outside contractors. Several other city services will run with skeletons and crews, on-call staff are only as needed during those days. With essentials locked in, the walk-out moves forward, keeping the city humming on the basics while workers make their point. That's the story for today, Canada News.
