Québec: Government engineers strike from 11 June 2026 (evenings, nights, weekends and Thursdays)
Last Updated:
Government engineers across Québec will launch an open-ended strike from 11 June 2026, with walkouts evenings, nights, weekends, and every Thursday. The APIGQ says the escalation aims to pressure the government over pay and staffing tied to public infrastructure, and local reports warn road and infrastructure works could be affected province‑wide. The union frames this as a second strike notice and an intensification of actions that began in May.
This alert was originally created on 7 June 2026.

Quebec government engineers represented by APIGQ are set to escalate their current rotating action into a general indefinite strike across Quebec from 6 July 2026. The walkout would affect engineers mainly at the transport ministry and other provincial departments; reports frame it as an escalation of the strike that has already been continuing on Thursdays, evenings and weekends, with the dispute focused on pay and a sector-specific budget.
