Longueuil white-collar workers have announced that they will be holding four more strike days in their ongoing dispute with the city’s administration.
The workers, who are represented by the Syndicat des fonctionnaires municipaux de Longueuil (SFML), have been on strike since January 31st, demanding better working conditions and a salary increase.
According to the SFML, the strike days will take place on March 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. This follows four previous strike days that took place in February.
The union has stated that the strike days will involve a complete shutdown of all city services, including public transportation, garbage collection, and administrative services.
The SFML has also announced that they will be holding a demonstration on March 8th, International Women’s Day, to highlight the fact that the majority of their members are women and to demand equal pay for equal work.
The city’s administration has expressed disappointment with the decision to hold more strike days, stating that it will have a significant impact on the citizens of Longueuil.
In response, the SFML has stated that they are willing to negotiate with the city’s administration, but only if their demands are taken seriously.
The ongoing strike has caused disruptions in the city, with residents experiencing delays in services and some businesses being forced to close due to the lack of staff.
The SFML has stated that they will continue to strike until their demands are met, and they are hopeful that the city’s administration will come to the negotiating table with a fair offer.
The next round of negotiations is scheduled for March 12th, and the SFML has stated that they are open to finding a resolution that benefits both parties.
In the meantime, the citizens of Longueuil will have to prepare for the upcoming strike days and the potential impact it may have on their daily lives.
