MONTREAL --
Construction employers' associations are meeting Monday morning to decide what to do, hours before a possible general strike in the industry.
They are expected to decide their position on the unions' offer to conclude collective agreements, but deferring debate on the main issue in dispute, namely the use of mobile applications to record work hours on workers' personal phones.
The Alliance Syndicale includes the five industry labour organizations that represent the 190,000 workers.
It is negotiating with four employer associations that represent sub-sectors of the industry.
Wages do not appear to be an issue and progress has been made on pensions and group insurance.
