MONTREAL — About 2,500 workers at 22 hotels in some of Quebec’s biggest cities have launched a one-day strike to protest an impasse in contract talks.
The walkout at hotels in Montreal, Quebec City and Sherbrooke is the second time since Aug. 8 that workers represented by the CSN-affiliated Fédération du commerce have gone on strike at the same time for a 24-hour period.
Michel Valiquette, who heads the hotel sector branch of the CSN, says little progress has been made at the negotiation table in the past few weeks. Association hôtelière du Grand Montréal says workers have “very good” conditions, with most cleaning staff being paid more than $25 an hour.'Did what Drano couldn't': This $12 tool is a must for clogged sinks and showers
