The SAQ has taken notice of the decision of the SAQ store employees’ union (the SEMB) to call a strike for Wednesday, April 24 and Thursday, April 25, 2024.

We remain prepared to meet with their representatives at all times and note that talks are ongoing. Until this week, the atmosphere around the negotiating table was positive. We feel that considerable progress has been made since the start of this round of discussions, and that is true for both sides. Our intention has remained unchanged since the start of the negotiations: arrive at an agreement satisfactory to both the SAQ and our employees.

Our business continuity plan will be implemented swiftly to ensure customers have access, albeit limited, to our store network both days. As the strike days called by the union coincide with the two annual planning days the SAQ is holding with management and employees, fewer stores will be open than is called for in our business continuity plan.

Unfortunately, some regions may have little or no service during those two days.

For our customers, a complete list of the opened stores is available on this page.

April 22 | Update on current negociations
We have been informed of a possible strike by our store employees' union (SEMB) on Wednesday and Thursday. Until then, all our stores are open and our teams are ready to serve our customers. We are currently focusing our energies on the discussions that are still ongoing. We were at the negotiating table today and a session is planned for tomorrow. In the event of a strike, our business continuity plan is ready to be deployed to offer our customers limited access to our stores.
Strike mandate for SAQ store employees
The union representing our store employees recently obtained a mandate for up to 15 days’ worth of strike hours.
We are keeping track of this development. You can be sure we are continuing to negotiate with the union and that our goal has remained the same since the start of this round of negotiations: to arrive at an agreement that is satisfactory to the SAQ and to our employees.
If a strike is called, our teams have a plan in place to maintain service for you. In the event of a strike, we encourage you to visit SAQ.COM or use our mobile app to know which stores will be open for business.
To provide the best possible guidance, this information will be updated as the situation develops.
