Canada, nurses' strike in Quebec

Members of the Interprofessional Health Federation of Quebec (FIQ) began a two-day strike Wednesday to protest poor working conditions. According to the "Noovo Info" website, Julie Bouchard, president of the Interprofessional Health Federation of Quebec, said: "There is enough time to buy." "Take this warning seriously and sit down at the bargaining table and negotiate." About 80,000 nursing staff members, including nurses, nursing assistants, cardiorespiratory therapists and clinical perfusionists, who work in health centers across Quebec, are on strike Wednesday and Thursday. 95% of the members of this federation voted in favor of the strike at the end of October, which can range from one day to an unlimited nationwide strike. When asked if there will be another strike after the two-day strike planned for the end of November, Julie Bouchard replied that, if necessary, the members of this federation will strike again. The Interprofessional Federation of Health and the Government of Quebec will negotiate again on Wednesday and Thursday and we will have to wait for the results of this negotiation.
