The union representing 800 professional workers at the Société de transport de Montréal has struck a tentative deal with the transit agency after over a year of negotiations. The Syndicat des employé(e)s professionnel(le)s et de bureau (SEPB) announced the agreement on Dec. 31, 2025, effectively ending the ongoing overtime strike that began on Dec. 17, 2025.
The union members, consisting of engineers, architects, analysts, and advisors in various departments such as information technology, planning, infrastructure, and finance, had been on overtime strike, which was initially planned to continue until Jan. 11. Marc Glogowski, the president of the local SEPB chapter, stated that the details of the agreement would be shared with union members before any official disclosure.
The SEPB will organize a meeting promptly for members to vote on the agreement, allowing them to have the final say. Additionally, approximately 2,400 maintenance workers at the STM had also been refusing to work overtime since Dec. 11, 2025. The STM has successfully reached agreements with three unions, including the professionals’ union, the union representing 4,500 bus drivers and metro operators, and the union representing 1,300 administrative and technical employees.
