What happened
The City of Montreal and the Canadian Union of Public Employees reached an agreement in principle on a new collective agreement. This agreement cancels a planned weeklong strike that was set to begin on Tuesday and last until September 28. The 6,600 blue-collar workers have been without a collective agreement since January 1, 2025.

Why it matters
The resolution avoids disruption to public services in Montreal, which was scheduled to coincide with the UCI 2026 Road World Championships. The agreement addresses the labor dispute that had been deadlocked for months between the city and the union.
