Montreal’s public transit agency has asked the provincial government to appoint a mediator to help settle a labour dispute with bus and metro drivers, who are set to join maintenance workers with a series of strikes next month.
Roughly 4,500 transit workers announced they intend to strike on Nov. 1, 15 and 16. If a deal can’t be reached in time, they will walk out with about 2,400 maintenance workers who have gone on strike twice since June and have announced labour action for most of November.
