Episode Notes Starting yesterday, some 2,400 maintenance workers at the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) walked off the job. Their nine-day strike ensures that service operates during peak hours for commuters – but until Tuesday, the STM website offered only times that service was operational, with few details on when each station would end its service. This left some Montrealers entering McGill metro on Monday well after the final trains left the station. CKUT spoke to some commuters who were left stranded after missing their last train home. Workers say they are striking over planned outsourcing from the STM, among other “rollbacks.” The transit agency says it’s under pressure to cut costs.
