SEARCHFirst transit strike in 14 years ends after one week when maintenance workers agree to a new deal almost unanimously.
A one-week transit strike by mechanics for Montreal Transit Corp. ended this week after maintenance workers voted overwhelmingly to accept a new deal.
More than 90 percent of the approximately 2,000 striking workers voted to accept the agency’s offer. Full subway and bus service was restored by Monday morning.
Workers walked off the job on Nov. 16 over wage and pension disputes. Under an agreement with Quebec's Essential Services Council, transit workers had provided limited rush-hour service during the week.
