The Quebec public sector unions federations representing around 430,000 workers say a new government contract offer is unacceptable.
The unions have received a strike mandate from their members and say they will walk out for a one-day strike on Nov. 6, which could be followed by further strike action.
Sonia LeBel, the chair of Quebec’s Treasury Board, issued a news release earlier in the day saying the government is offering salary increases of 14.8 per cent — up from a previous offer of nine per cent.
But the unions say that figure is misleading and workers would actually only see an increase of 10.3 per cent over three years.
— More coming.
