The 2,400 maintenance workers of the Montreal transit agency went on strike last week for the second time this year.
The transit agency on Saturday rejected an offer from the maintenance workers’ union, saying the proposal didn’t take the employer’s finances into account.
The agency says it submitted a counter-offer, and negotiations continue today.
The union says it offered compromises that could have ended the two-week strike early, but the transit agency is being inflexible.
