At a general meeting held in Quebec City on November 30, 2025, nearly 80% of members voted to ratify the tentative agreement presented by the union. The meeting was broadcast simultaneously in several cities, including Sherbrooke, Rimouski, and Sept-Îles. Following a 14th bargaining session on November 11, the parties reached a tentative agreement to renew the master collective agreement for building services in the Quebec City region.
