MONTREAL – Bus and metro service is set to continue in Montreal this weekend after the city’s public transit network says it reached a tentative deal with its drivers’ union, ending planned strike action.
The strike was scheduled to begin early Saturday and last until Monday, but the Société de transport de Montréal says it reached a deal late Friday.
Transit officials say the deal still needs to be ratified by the union’s roughly 4,500 bus drivers, metro operators and station agents.
Union head Frederic Therrien says the union’s goal was to reach an agreement and that they succeeded.
He says there will be no further comment until the deal has been ratified.
Transit users can now expect regular bus and metro service on Saturday and Sunday.
