The Quebec crane operators union is asking its members to end their illegal strike and return to work Tuesday morning after being off the job for more than a week.

A letter sent to workers by the union’s president, Evans Dupuis, Monday evening said workers must “stop any strike or slow down of work.”

Despite the demand to return to job sites, the letter continued that the union will not ease up on their demands for “the health, safety and integrity for workers and the public.”

Crane operators were back on construction sites across the province Tuesday morning. The Administrative Labour Tribunal ordered the crane operators to return to work last Thursday evening.

Both FTQ-Construction and the Conseil provincial du Québec des métiers de la construction have informed union crane operators in their respective locals that they should “immediately stop any strike or slowdown” and that they are “obliged to immediately resume their normal work performance” because of the tribunal’s judgment.
