Negotiations continue on day 3 of residential construction strike
The Alliance syndicale de la construction and the Association des professionnels de la construction et de l'habitation du Québec (APCHQ) are set to continue talks Friday as the residential construction strike enters its third day. The APCHQ and the Alliance syndicale met on Thursday afternoon in the presence of a mediator assigned to the case. Although no agreement was reached on renewing the workers' collective agreement, which expired on April 30, the two parties agreed to continue discussions. Unlike in other sectors, pay rises negotiated in the construction industry are not retroactive to the expiry date of the previous collective agreement. Three other sectors of the construction industry — civil engineering/roads, institutional/commercial, and industrial — settled their agreements before they expired. The wage increases are eight per cent for 2025, five per cent for 2026, five per cent for 2027 and four per cent for 2028. The Alliance syndicale brings together all the construction unions, representing 200,000 workers. Around 60,000 of them work in residential construction. – This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on May 30, 2024.

Parties to meet as threat of residential construction strike looms in Quebec
Another meeting is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon between the Alliance syndicale de la construction and the Association des professionnels de la construction et de l'habitation du Québec (APCHQ), as an unlimited strike threatens the residential construction industry. Monday evening, the APCHQ announced that it had presented 'a new increased exploratory offer' to the Alliance syndicale and was awaiting a response, in the hope of breaking the deadlock. Tuesday morning, the Alliance indicated that the offer from the APCHQ was not in writing, and the situation has not changed. The strike call, slated to start at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, remains in effect. The Alliance notes that workers have already begun mobilizing, and it anticipates that a strike will be called unless the parties reach common ground at their meeting on Tuesday afternoon. The Alliance syndicale includes all the construction unions, including FTQ-Construction, the Syndicat québécois de la construction, the Conseil provincial du Québec des métiers de la construction (international), the CSD-Construction and the CSN-Construction. It represents a total of 200,000 workers. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on May 27, 2025.

Residential construction strike confirmed by Alliance
An ultimatum issued by the Alliance syndicale regarding strike action in the residential construction industry expired at 12 p.m. Monday. It confirmed a strike will start at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Nevertheless, the parties are expected to meet with Quebec Labour Minister Jean Boulet in the afternoon on Monday. Last week, the Alliance syndicale gave the Association des professionnels de la construction et de l'habitation du Québec (APCHQ) until noon on Monday to respond to its request to submit the latest union proposal to a vote of its members. If the APCHQ did not agree, the Alliance threatened that strike action would ensue. Three other sectors of the construction industry have settled their negotiations: industrial, civil engineering and roads, and institutional/commercial. The Alliance syndicale represents 200,000 construction workers, including those in the residential sector. It brings together the five construction union organizations. – This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on May 26, 2024.
