Blue-collar workers in the City of Kirkland will hold a two-day strike on Wednesday and Thursday this week.<\/p>\n
The strike by these blue-collar workers, who are members of the Syndicat des cols bleus regroup\u00e9s de Montr\u00e9al, is scheduled to take place from March 4 at 12:01 a.m. to March 5 at 11:59 p.m.<\/p>\n
Essential services will be provided. The Administrative Labor Tribunal (TAT) ruled that these services, which had been agreed upon by the parties, were sufficient.<\/p>\n
In its decision, TAT noted that garbage, compost, and recycling collection are provided by subcontractors.<\/p>\n
It also took into account the fact that this strike will take place in winter.<\/p>\n
The agreement guarantees the availability of on-call workers who will be able to perform various tasks, such as spreading abrasives or clearing sidewalks and streets, depending on the amount of snow or ice.<\/p>\n
This on-call availability of employees also applies to major water main breaks, \u201cfilling holes that are dangerous to traffic,\u201d and picking up debris that affects road traffic \u201cin a dangerous manner.\u201d<\/p>\n
