"The Quebec resort, located northeast of Quebec City along the St. Lawrence River, confirmed Monday that it would shut down operations for the remainder of the winter after failing to reach a new collective agreement with roughly 300 unionized employees, according to The Canadian Press. Workers represented by the Syndicat des travailleuses et travailleurs du Massif, affiliated with the CSN, have been on an unlimited general strike since January 2."
"Management said continuing the season had become unsustainable after employees rejected both a proposed contract and an offer to move the dispute to arbitration. According to The Canadian Press and CBC News, resort officials said operations would have needed to resume by Tuesday to maintain safe conditions, including continued snowmaking through the end of the month. Without an agreement in place, the resort concluded it could not meet safety and operating standards."
Le Massif de Charlevoix closed for the remainder of the winter after talks with roughly 300 unionized employees collapsed. Workers represented by the Syndicat des travailleuses et travailleurs du Massif have been on unlimited strike since January 2. Management said continuing the season became unsustainable after employees rejected a proposed contract and an offer to move the dispute to arbitration. Operations would have needed to resume to maintain safe conditions, including snowmaking. The collective agreement expired December 31, with wages the primary sticking point; the union also sought changes to subcontracting, sick leave, workplace safety, and vacation. The closure ends the 2025-26 season and harms employees, visitors, and regional tourism.
