(Montreal) A delegation from the FIQ met on Wednesday to analyze the new offer from the Quebec government, presented last Sunday.
In an interview earlier this week, the vice-president of the Interprofessional Health Federation (FIQ), Jérôme Rousseau, said he was unimpressed by this new offer from the Treasury Board.
“What we will probably recommend is the rejection of these offers,” he said.
Last Sunday, Quebec increased its offer from a 9% salary increase over five years to 10.3%. It maintains the lump sum of $1,000 for the first year of the contract, already proposed in December 2022.
In addition to salaries, the FIQ also criticizes other requests from Quebec addressed to its members, in particular that concerning the flexibility expected of nurses in the face of changes in work shift, care unit or establishment, depending on the needs, explained Mr. Rousseau.
