Unionized W Montreal Hotel workers on strike this weekend

A CSN flag is waved during a strike outside the Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Montreal on Thursday, Aug. 1 2024. (The Canadian Press/Graham Hughes) About 100 unionized workers at the W Montreal Hotel walked off the job Saturday for the entire weekend. The Syndicat des travailleuses et travailleurs de W Hôtel Montréal, affiliated with the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN), said the strike began at 9 a.m. Saturday in response to what it called the employer's recent shutdown. 'We work in a luxury hotel where rooms go for more than $400 a night, and they want to offer us less than several other hotels in Montreal. It's inconceivable. We work hard and with heart for this hotel, and we have the right to get our fair share,' said union president Raphaël Gouin-Loubert in a news release. The workers also held a one-day strike last Monday, after voting on July 31 to bank 120 strike hours to use when needed. The union has been in negotiations with the employer for six months, with wages as the main sticking point. A round of intensive talks is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. 'As part of hotel sector bargaining at the CSN, other unions have secured at least 21 per cent over four years. We are far from that here. The W Montreal Hotel's workers want the same thing, and we will be behind them until they win,' said Serge Monette, president of the CSN's commerce federation, in the same release. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on Aug. 9, 2025.

Brokenhead Ojibway Nation votes against proposed silica mining partnership

Members of Brokenhead Ojibway Nation (BON) have voted against a proposed partnership with a silica mining company following a community referendum held last week. According to results shared by the First Nation on Facebook, 310 ballots were cast. A total of 181 members voted 'no' to the proposal, while 129 voted 'yes.' In the social media post, Chief and council thanked community members for participating and said they respect the outcome. 'Any proposal to extract resources from our territory must be presented to our membership,' the post read. 'This is the expectation of BON for all resource development proponents and is an important step in ensuring our members are meaningfully involved in decision-making.' The leadership said the referendum will serve as a foundation for developing clearer, community-driven processes for future engagement. Brokenhead Ojibway Nation is located about 70 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.
