The Quebec Superior Court has ordered thousands of Quebec workers and contractors be compensated for time and expenses lost during an illegal strike launched by two of the province’s largest trade unions, FTQ-Construction and Inter. Parties can file their claims online until April 15, 2026. Successful claimants will get direct Interac transfers of up to $500, less fees. Lawyers who brought the class-action suit estimate between 60,000 and 80,000 workers will be notified of their potential eligibility for compensation via emails and text.
