The University of McGill in Montreal is in the midst of a wave of unionization and militancy not seen for over 50 years. Strikes and actions of unions and student groups have rapidly followed each other on campus over the past few months. The pro-Palestine encampment, which began on April 27, 2024, is the most recent demonstration. The students’ actions come as part of a broader renewal of the labour struggles, with 2023 seeing the most days on strike in nearly 40 years.
