Negotiations continue on day 3 of residential construction strike
The Alliance syndicale de la construction and the Association des professionnels de la construction et de l'habitation du Québec (APCHQ) are set to continue talks Friday as the residential construction strike enters its third day. The APCHQ and the Alliance syndicale met on Thursday afternoon in the presence of a mediator assigned to the case. Although no agreement was reached on renewing the workers' collective agreement, which expired on April 30, the two parties agreed to continue discussions. Unlike in other sectors, pay rises negotiated in the construction industry are not retroactive to the expiry date of the previous collective agreement. Three other sectors of the construction industry — civil engineering/roads, institutional/commercial, and industrial — settled their agreements before they expired. The wage increases are eight per cent for 2025, five per cent for 2026, five per cent for 2027 and four per cent for 2028. The Alliance syndicale brings together all the construction unions, representing 200,000 workers. Around 60,000 of them work in residential construction. – This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on May 30, 2024.

Quebec unions representing 400 subsidized daycares reach tentative deal with province
After 13 strike days, the labour federation representing workers at 400 subsidized daycares in Quebec says it has reached an agreement in principle with the province. The 13,000 workers with the Fédération de la santé et des services sociaux (FSSS), a labour federation affiliated the with the much larger Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN), will be voting on the deal in the coming days. Nearly two weeks ago, the CSN asked for conciliation to resolve an impasse in negotiations. Conciliation efforts began on May 1. Major sticking points during negotiations were linked to working conditions and compensation. The FSSS-CSN was seeking to improve both as a means to alleviate staffing shortages in the daycare network and make the job more attractive to future workers. Negotiations with the provincial government to renew collective agreements have been ongoing for several months. The Treasury Board submitted offers to all unions representing daycare workers in May 2024 and settled with those under the Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ) and the Fédérations des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec (FTQ) in December. Workers will have the final say on whether the agreement is accepted or not and the union said no details of the deal will be released until then.
