Tribunal orders Quebec crane operators ordered back to work
MONTREAL — Quebec’s crane operators are being ordered back to work.
A labour tribunal hearing ruled Thursday evening in favour of an order sought by the province’s construction commission, forcing workers to end any work stoppage or slowdown tactics.
The tribunal will decide at a later date whether the actions constituted a illegal strike when it hears the case on its merits.
In granting the interim order, the tribunal ruled that the urgency to act was justified because of significant impacts on worksites because of the work stoppage.
