Vacances pour près de 200 000 travailleurs de la construction

AI Article Summary
Nearly 200,000 construction workers in Quebec are on a two-week vacation, with many opting not to travel to the U.S. due to political tensions under President Trump. This period has reduced construction activities, although a recent labor agreement promises significant wage increases. The Alliance syndicale de la construction and the APCHQ's new agreement could raise wages by up to 24.35% over four years, potentially impacting housing costs. Despite this, there was a slight decline in new housing starts due partially to a previous strike in the residential sector.
