School support staff will be on strike on October 1, 2 and 3. Education professionals will be on strike on October 4, 7 and 8. Strike notices were filed yesterday evening.\r\n\r\nEducation negotiations were concluded in southern Quebec months ago, but there is still no agreement in principle for northern workers.\r\n\r\nLast June, members of both unions voted in favor of a strike mandate that could be triggered at any time in the fall if discussions at the Cree School Board negotiating tables were not making any significant progress.\r\n\r\n\u201cThese negotiations are painful, just like our labour relations with the school board. The employer is completely closed to negotiating and talks are stagnating. Once again, it\u2019s the workers in the North who are paying the price. It\u2019s incomprehensible that it\u2019s come to this, especially when there are so many crucial needs and attracting and retaining personnel is so difficult,\u201d says Larry Imbeault, President of the Association des employ\u00e9s du Nord qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, the union representing teaching and support staff.\r\n\r\n\u201cOur members are fed up; we need to reach an agreement. Everyone is being penalized by the current situation, both staff and educational services. Our demands are legitimate, these delays and refusals to negotiate are unacceptable, and we want a fair and equitable agreement. All Quebec students, whether in the North or South, deserve the same services. It\u2019s distressing to see history repeat itself again and again,\u201d adds Kathy Germain, interim President of the Syndicat des professionnelles et professionnels en milieu scolaire du Nord-Ouest.\r\n\r\nBoth unions say that, in the interests of all concerned, they are prepared to do everything in their power to resolve the impasse. \u201cOur negotiating teams are obviously available, but we can\u2019t avoid such measures in the current climate. It\u2019s going to take willpower and mandates to resolve this,\u201d conclude the two spokespersons.","couleur":""}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite\/2442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualite"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
