RTL bus drivers’ strike cancelled
Posted September 5, 2025 8:17 am.
The strike by bus drivers with the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL), scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, has been canceled.
Regular service will therefore be provided by the RTL, the transit authority confirmed Friday.
The Administrative Labour Tribunal has just suspended the three-day strike, ruling that the essential services offered were insufficient. The strike will therefore not take place “until it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Tribunal that, if the right to strike is exercised, essential services will be adequately maintained.”
The union represents 714 bus drivers; they are members of a local of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, affiliated with the FTQ.
