Montreal’s municipal blue‑collar staff voted on October 29, 2026 to accept a principle collective agreement, with 78.51% of the 6,600 employees in favor. The deal provides a 23% salary increase spread over a six‑year period, delivering a larger raise than previously expected.
The agreement concludes negotiations between the city’s blue‑collar workforce and Mayor Martinez Ferrada’s administration, setting the terms for wages through 2032.
