Get Ready for STM Service Disruptions as Maintenance Workers’ Strike Resumes
Get ready for potential disruptions starting tomorrow as the STM maintenance workers’ strike picks up again. Both metro and bus services will be running at reduced capacities during off-peak hours, impacting commuters across the city.
To stay on top of the latest schedule changes, riders are advised to regularly check the STM’s website for updates and consider adding extra time to their travel plans.
Starting this week, service will operate normally only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until October 5th. This limited schedule will affect the daily commute of many residents in the coming days.
Nearly 2,400 maintenance workers initiated the two-week rotating strike on September 22 after prolonged negotiations with STM management failed to reach a resolution. The core issues, including salary increases and inflation concerns, have led to this standoff between the union and STM management.
