Four unions representing around 420,000 workers, say more than 90 per cent of members who have participated in votes have supported a strike mandate
People take part in a public-sector union demonstration in Montreal, on Sept. 23. Members of several Quebec public-sector unions are continuing to vote in favour of strike mandates by large margins.Quebec’s public sector workers continue to give their unions strong backing to go on strike if they’re unable to successfully negotiate new contracts with the provincial government, the federations said at about the halfway point of the voting process.
Several locals have unanimously voted in favour of a strike mandate, the CSQ said, with the lowest rate of support among education professionals in Riviere-du-Loup, Que., where 83 per cent of members backed potential job action. “Numbers this high, with participation rates this high, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen this. It’s certainly a sign of our members state of mind. They have nothing to lose, they’re angry and they want to go all the way,” said Francois Enault, a CSN vice-president responsible for public-sector negotiations.
