Public sector unions representing hundreds of thousands of health, social services and education workers in Quebec are planning to hold a one-day strike on Nov. 6.
A fifth union not part of the common front, the Fédération autonome de l’enseignement (FAE), which represents teachers in the province, has also voted in favour of an unlimited strike but has not set a date.
Thousands of public and para-public sector employees demonstrated last month in Montreal while they were in the middle of negotiations for new collective agreements.
Quebec Treasury Board President Sonia LeBel is due to table a new offer next Sunday in hopes of reaching a deal to end negotiations that have dragged on for months.
On Wednesday, Quebec Premier François Legault spoke to CSQ members demonstrating near the National Assembly, where he mentioned that a fourth offer — one he described as “enhanced’” — would be tabled.
During the exchange, a union member reminded Legault that Quebec politicians voted to give themselves a 30 per cent salary increase.
