Societe de transport de Montreal (STM) and the SCFP 2850 labor union yesterday reached an agreement to assign backup cleaning duties to administrative, technical and professional personnel to help step up cleaning practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Under the agreement, SCFP 2850 employees can be assigned, as needed, to clean high-touch areas on trains and at stations.

Employees will be transferred to the operations and maintenance department in two phases: Up to 150 people will be moved in the first phase and 250 people in the second phase, STM officials said in a press release.
