One-day strike expected to disrupt activities at the donation centres and headquarters of Quebec blood agency that supplies province’s health care system
Nursing staff at Héma-Québec are planning a one-day strike in Montreal as their union asks to maintain pay equity with public-sector staff.
Collective agreements for both unions expired in March, 2019. The main sticking point in the continuing negotiations is pay equity with nursing staff in the public system, which the unions say is in jeopardy. Héma-Québec declined to comment on the salary offers out of respect for the negotiations process. Spokesperson Patrice Lavoie said in an interview that the strikes forced reorganizations, including management stepping in to fulfill striking staff tasks, but that they had a limited impact on blood supply as essential services, including the collection of much-needed or rare blood types, are not affected.
