Strike at the SAQ: here are the branches open today

Exasperated by the employer’s intransigence, the approximately 5,000 unionized employees of the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ) once again launched a strike on Monday to denounce the impasse in the negotiations.

In addition to improving working conditions for part-time employees, the union is calling for protection of the number of regular positions, while barely 30% of employees can count on such conditions.

“Since the beginning of October, the employer has essentially been telling us the same thing: withdraw all your requests, accept all our setbacks and perhaps, one day, we will discuss your priorities. This position is unacceptable,” denounced Lisa Courtemanche, president of the SAQ’s union of store and office employees (SEMB).

In response to the offer of 16.5% over six years made by the employer, the union submitted a wage counter-proposal of 20% over five years and wishes to obtain rapid access to the employee insurance plan at instead of waiting seven years, as is currently the case.

“There is no company in Quebec that operates with nearly 70% of its employees on such a precarious basis,” said Caroline Senneville, president of the CSN, who in passing calls on the Minister of Finances Éric Girard on the precariousness of SAQ employees.

In a press release published during the morning of Monday, the SAQ expressed its “disappointment” with the union’s decision to launch another day of strike.

“Since the strike days of October 17 and 18, we have held several meetings on the monetary aspect and, although there is still a way to go to find common ground, discussions continued,” indicated the state-owned company which hopes to reach an agreement before the end-of-year holiday period.
