Seven new days of strike await the 420,000 members of the common front. Despite the presence of a conciliator at the negotiating table, the unions are increasing the pressure.
The leaders of the CSN, FTQ, CSQ and APTS will make the announcement at 11 a.m. this Tuesday in Montreal.
The common front has held four days of strike so far; a first day on November 6, then three consecutive days from November 21 to 23.
At the request of the unions, the Legault government announced last week the appointment of a conciliator in the hope of reaching a negotiated agreement. The common front considers that conciliation has made it possible to advance discussions, but that we are still far from seeing common ground on the horizon.
Last Thursday, Prime Minister François Legault said he was ready to “improve” the salary offer currently on the table.
More details to come.
