Union members of the Federation interprofessionnelle de la sante du Quebec march to the National Assembly to demonstrate, in Quebec City, Monday, Oct. 2, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot.After 17 months, there is no end in sight to negotations between Quebec’s largest nurses union and the provincial government. Its 80,000 members have rejected the tentative deal reached by both sides on March 19.
Among the things that were offered: a 17.4% salary increase; bonuses for critical periods, such as the holidays and during the summer; the prioritization of healthcare professionals from the public sector over outsourced labour; and mandatory overtime to be used only in emergency situations.Union president Julie Bouchard says she is “disappointed” that the offer they presented to their members is inadequate. They are going to meet with them to understand what went wrong.
Health Minister Christian Dubé also commented on X that necessary changes must be made “to improve the health network and become an employer of choice.”
