Quebec labour tribunal orders nurses’ union to stop threatening mass resignation
A Quebec nurses’ union’s threat to announce the mass resignation of several hundred of its members as a pressure tactic is illegal, a Quebec labour tribunal has ruled.
The tribunal noted the union has been working to gather the signatures of 500 nurses who are ready to resign over the Mauricie-Centre-du-Quebec regional health authority’s scheduling changes.Workers, the decision read, have also been refusing to input some data into patient files. The changes the union is protesting include the obligation to work a certain number of weekend shifts.
But Bedard ruled that, in this case, the threatened resignations are a “collective action” aimed at paralyzing services, rather than a private decision. The ruling noted the resignations will only be presented once 500 workers have signed on, and union members have agreed to respect the seniority of their peers who resign.
