This time its Le Massif de Charlevoix in Canada. It follows industrial action at Telluride in the USA

300 unionized workers have launched an unlimited general strike at the resort in Quebec.

It is one of the busiest weeks of the season and has left thousands of skiers and snowboarders unable to reach the slopes.

The dispute centers on several issues that the union says have been ignored by the resort’s administration:

Wages: The primary sticking point, with the union seeking increases they claim are necessary to meet the cost of living.
Working Conditions: Demands include more sick leave, increased vacation time, and improved safety protocols for equipment.
Subcontracting: Workers are pushing for protections against the outsourcing of resort roles.

As negotiations continue, visitors are advised to check directly with the resort and local businesses for the latest information on trail access, refunds and safety notices.
