Montrealers who rely on the bus and metro are in for a tough week, as STM maintenance workers will go on strike starting Monday.

Service disruptions are expected to last until June 17 — except during Grand Prix weekend, from June 13 to 15.

The agency’s 24-hundred maintenance workers are demanding better working conditions, including improved work-life balance, more respectful schedules, and fair pay.

“I support them in that, you know I think everybody deserves to feel their voice heard and feel supported by the public. So, you know all the power to them,” said one Montrealer CityNews spoke to.

But for commuters, students, and anyone without a car, this could mean scrambling for alternatives—or simply staying home.
