MONTREAL – The employees at a major Quebec ski resort that has been shut down because of a labour dispute will vote today on a new proposal.

Le Massif de Charlevoix announced Monday that it had cancelled the rest of the season after failing to come to an agreement with striking unionized employees.

The CSN union representing the workers said today that a mediator has proposed a new solution that will be presented to members at a general assembly.

The 300 or so workers have been on strike since Jan. 2, with wages as the main sticking point. 

The resort said Monday it had to close because it couldn’t ensure safe ski conditions without being able to resume artificial snow-making. 

The closure has sent shock waves through the scenic Charlevoix region northeast of Quebec City, whose economy depends heavily on winter tourism.
