Montreal airport refuellers are heading back to work after approving a three-year agreement with Swissport Canada Inc. following a month-long strike. The roughly 100 workers ratified the agreement in principle on Thursday after reaching a tentative deal shortly before sunrise a day earlier. Salaries and work-life balance were the main points of contention between Swissport and its workers, who had been without a contract since August. The strike at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International and Mirabel airports includes aircraft refuellers as well as mechanics, dispatchers and maintenance workers of fuel storage facilities. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 30, 2020.
