Collective agreements for all four industry sectors will expire on April 30, 2025. The time has come to negotiate!
The Alliance syndicale de la construction—which brings together the industry’s five unions—submitted its sectoral demands today. Employers’ associations also followed suit.
We are working for you
In our list of demands, the Alliance Syndicale included priorities that construction workers have been asking for: wage increases that compensate for the rising cost of living and increases purchasing power, improved meal and travel allowances, additional non-working public holidays, improved job security through recall rights, etc.
How demands have evolved since the last negotiations
On September 1, 2022, the Alliance syndicale asked employer associations to reopen collective agreements for a one-off wage increase to counter inflation. They refused the request, considering it was “a matter of negotiation.”
Time to catch up!
Employer associations will certainly have to adjust the proposals for the 2025 negotiations. They have the obligation to retain the workforce active on construction sites, and make the construction industry more attractive for the next generation of workers. Salaries will, therefore, have to play a key role in the solution, and we are expecting a very significant catch-up in salaries. And this time, bosses won’t be able to ignore our demands. They will have to deliver the goods!
