The 2025 Société de transport de Montréal strikes refer to a series of strikes of 2,400 maintenance workers & 4,500 Bus/Metro operators and station agents employed by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) represented by Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) and Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE / SCFP) respectively.
The first round of strikes from the maintenance workers lasted from June 9 to June 17, 2025. It affected transit, including buses and the Montreal Metro.[1] However, adaptive transport ran unaffected.
A second strike took place from September 22 to October 5, during which time the bus & metro was fully operational during peak hours and late night as well as a reduced schedule during the off-peak on scheduled days. Adaptive transport was fully operational at all times during the strike.[2]
Strikes resumed on November 1 which were intended to last for 4 weeks at a rush hour and late-night schedule only.[3] However, on November 11 the CSN who is representing the maintenance workers annouced a suspension of the strike due to kick in the next day at 6am.[4]
Background
The collective bargaining agreement expired in January 2025 and negotiations did not produce a new contract.[1]
