More than 400,000 public sector workers in Quebec are slated to strike on Monday, meaning some services will be interrupted in schools and health-care settings across the province.
More than 400,000 public sector workers in Quebec are slated to strike on Monday, meaning some services will be interrupted in schools and health-care settings across the province.
Unions in the Commont Front alliance (CSN, CSQ, FTQ AND APTS) are headed to the picket line after rejecting the Legault government's latest offer earlier this week.
Here's a breakdown of which services will be affected on Nov. 6.
Some workers in the health and social services sector, such as lab technicians, nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychologists and social workers, will strike on Monday.
However, because of rules surrounding essential services, they'll work at a roughly 80 per cent capacity rather than forgoing their duties altogether.
Nurses are not part of this strike action. Their union, the Fédération Interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec (FIQ) -- unaffiliated with the Common Front -- has voted instead to strike on Nov. 8 and 9.
CTV News reached out to health and social service centres (CISSS/CIUSSSs) across Montreal, Laval and the Montérégie region, most of whom said that the strike could cause a slowdown of services Monday.
