Agreement in principle rejected by the employees of the Montreal and Quebec City distribution centres

Montreal, December 6, 2021 – The SAQ has just been informed that the employees of its Montreal and Quebec City distribution centres (STTSAQ) have rejected the agreement in principle reached on Monday, November 29 by a margin of 86%.

In the coming days, the SAQ will hold discussions with the union party to better understand the reasons for this decision and determine the next steps to be taken. You can be sure that we hope for a return to the bargaining table as soon as possible.

 

Our priority: to replenish the stocks

Over the coming weeks, the SAQ teams will focus on replenishing our stores and SAQ.COM, as well as licensees across Quebec. As we head into the holiday season, every effort will be made to return to normal across our network as soon as possible.
