Quebec one step closer to deal with striking health-care workers, wage issues still unresolved
CBC
Quebec is one step closer to reaching an agreement with striking public sector health-care workers under the Confédération des Syndicats Nationaux (CSN) banner.
Premier François Legault's government has struck in deal in principle with the FSSS-CSN, the federation of health-care and social service workers' negotiating committee — a CSN group that is affiliated with the common front of unions, known in French as the front commun.
However, there is still more work to be done to reach a full agreement.
"The problem remains unresolved with regard to central issues on the table," reads a statement from the FSSS-CSN.
"Wage issues will have to be resolved to avoid an unlimited common front strike in early 2024."
The FSSS-CSN represents the largest share of public-sector health-care workers in Quebec with some 120,000 workers.
