Quebec nurses should reject sellout agreement, spearhead fight to mobilize working class against austerity
The 76,000 nurses, nursing assistants, respiratory therapists and perfusionists who are members of FIQ (the Quebec Interprofessional Health Federation) are being asked to vote this week on the tentative three-year agreement the union recently reached with the right-wing provincial government of François Legault.
The proposed contract represents a further assault on nurses’ wages and working conditions, and is part of a generalized ruling class attack on public sector workers in Quebec and across Canada. It is a continuation of the ruling elite’s austerity agenda that has ravaged the public health and education systems for decades.
