The workers of SOS domestic violence have just given themselves a mandate for an unlimited general strike to be called at the appropriate time.
The small union, attached to the CSQ, has 14 workers.
They have not yet set a date for the start of a possible strike, but they say they are “ready for any eventuality”, depending on the progress of negotiations with the employer.
As this is a domestic violence support service, essential services should be maintained if a strike were to be called.
The collective agreement expired in March 2020. Several points are in dispute, mainly the organization of work, but also work-family balance. And the salary question has not yet been resolved, the union said on Wednesday.
