Attacks on STM workers worsen
La Presse has a dossier Tuesday on the rising rate of attacks on the STM’s workers. Bus drivers and metro cops get it worst.
Drivers are asking for anti‑attack barriers but no mention is made of the plexi panels put in place since the pandemic, so presumably they’re not sturdy enough for the purpose.

Didn’t realize the STM had outsourced staffing to Lapresse 😉

Not sure what you mean, nau.
Radio-Canada is also reporting the story now.

The description says “La Presse has a dossier on…attacks on its workers”, but the article is about attacks on STM employees.

Oh true. I was mentally segueing from the headline I wrote, but it only appears on Twitter, not on the blog itself. Thank you. I will fix.

There seems also to be problems between STM workers :
