CJM Statement on STM workers strike: 3/3

And perhaps not even labour unions–not alone, anyway. The pressure from an authoritarian-leaning government and a coalition of Montreal business associations worked, and it shouldn’t have. The unions gave away their leverage. In a vacuum of bold leadership, it’s up to us to step up.

If transit is as essential a public service as we say it is, then it should therefore be free. We should demand more, and we will. The strike has ended, but the struggle is far from over. If we want a future that is decolonial, abolitionist, and just–we need you.

CJM Statement on STM workers strike: 2/3

We stand against the anti-loitering law. We oppose this trend of increased surveillance and police oppression. We can and must do better, and here’s how:

Instead of relying on a new mayor that only got 9% of the population of Montreal’s support, join us in building a people-powered movement. Instead of continuing to react to the impacts of widespread privatization, take the offensive with us through our demands for free, expanded, and accessible public transit, which naturally includes good working conditions for those who keep the buses and metros running.

Instead of settling for the status quo (or worse), organize for something better with us. Instead of being reactive, be proactive.

We stand in solidarity with the striking workers, but their demands are not radical, and they do not address the roots–such as capitalism and colonialism–of the issues we face today.

A better world doesn’t just happen, it has to be built. We have to build it–not a business-friendly mayor, not a state-sanctioned militia posing as security officers, not a provincial government bent on defunding public transit, and not a power-hungry car industry.

CJM Statement on STM workers strike: Link in bio

CJM Statement on STM workers strike:

In the last two weeks, 2400 maintenance workers, as well as 4500 bus drivers and metro operators, went on strike to get new collective agreements negotiated with the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). Throughout, we have maintained our position on this issue:

we support the workers’ demands for a halt on subcontracting and privatization, for improved work-life balance, and for measures to attract and retain staff. Subcontracting in particular should concern us, because not only is it an unjust circumvention around union organizing, it means a steep decline in preventative maintenance of transit infrastructure. Subcontracting worsens both work conditions and the daily services on which we rely.

More than ever, though, we must be clear: our solidarity will never extend to the transit police, as their actions are fundamentally at odds with what we see as public safety and security. Policing does not make us safer, and shows a dangerous lack of imagination regarding how we structure our systems and care for each other.

We believe it is possible to be in solidarity with the transit workers as they face the consequences of austerity–consequences which reverberate down to those who use and rely on public transport–while rejecting the segments of its labour force that work to oppress the most vulnerable among us.

If we needed more evidence that Projet Montréal isn't a left-wing party, this tweet captures it. Mamdani has never emphasized equity or inclusion (liberal concepts), but the redistribution of wealth and power from the wealthy to the working class (in all its diversity).

MONTRÉAL • INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY PROTEST AGAINST NAZISM AND TRUMPISM 📆 Sat., March 8, 2025 🕐 1 PM (march at 2) 📍 Monument Georges-Étienne-Cartier, Tio’tiá:ke | Montréal Nazism, Trumpism, oligarchy, and patriarchy must be stopped at all costs. Fuck imperialism. Freedom and liberation for all!

A poster graphic, reading:

“International Women’s Day against Nazism & Trumpism - 2025-03-08 - 1pm - Rac/pists not welcome - Monument Sir-Georges-Étienne-Cartier”

In the middle of the graphic is a stylized drawing of a character swinging a bat at a silhouette of Donald Trump. A pink “X” appears where Trump’s eyes would be.

The text “Against Nazism & Trumpism” is in pink; the rest of the text is white on a dark background.

(The background is a black-and-white photo of a Trump figurine/piñata hanging from a window. Low-visibility text says: “We are never going back in the closet” and “We are never going back in the kitchen”).

A poster graphic, reading as follows:

The clock is ticking.

The uncontested rise of the far-right
"broligarchy" and terminal-stage capitalism threatens all of our freedoms, from bodily autonomy to labour rights to freedom of expression.

Nazism, Trumpism, oligarchy and patriarchy kills people, and must be stopped at all costs.

Fuck the "51st state". Fuck imperialism. Freedom and liberation for all!

→ meetup @ 1pm
→ march @ 2pm

The protest will continue until 4:30p after which we'll be merging into Women from Diverse Origins' annual International Women's Day protest!
