Work Stoppages

Publication date: October 31, 2025

The Labour Program collects and analyses work stoppages data, which covers strikes and lockouts that amount to 10 or more person-days not worked.

Exceptions: As of December 16, 2025, the data from 2022 to 2025 for the province of Quebec has been revised. Data for 2025 covers the months of January to October. However, at time of publication, Quebec data were available up-to and including June 2025 only. National-level aggregate totals for 2025 are therefore provisional and will be subject to revision.
