A major Quebec ski resort has suspended operations for the day after the union representing some 300 workers launched a strike.

Le Massif de Charlevoix says it was forced to shut its ski lifts, slopes, tobogganing areas, food services, the gift shop and the workshop at the resort northeast of Quebec City along the St. Lawrence River.

The union — Syndicat des travailleuses et travailleurs du Massif — has a 10-day strike mandate.

In a statement, Le Massif says it doesn’t know whether the strike will extend beyond today.

On its website, the resort says it closed for the day to ensure the safety of its guests and staff.

Earlier this week the union accused management of breaking off talks, saying the resort showed a “blatant lack of willingness” to negotiate.
