Breaking news: Tentative deal reached in transit strike

Posted By mont_vila On May 25, 2007 @ 6:19 pm In Around Town, Business and Economy, Life, News | Comments Disabled

According to local media ^[1] reports ^[2], an agreement in principle has been reached between the STM and the Syndicat du transport de Montréal. Both sides must still ratify the agreement, which would end the four-day old transit strike.

In other news, a protest ^[3] called yesterday to denounce the striking STM workers drew exactly three people: the organizer and two of his friends. Maybe if they had offered to provide transportation…?

UPDATE: The agreement has been ratified ^[4]. According to the STM ^[5], bus and metro service is being gradually resumed and will return to full service by Saturday morning. Negotiations between the STM and the union will continue with conciliator Jean-Pierre Gosselin.
