Not to mention the Common Front of public sector workers, representing over 400,000 health and education workers, will also hold a three-day strike at the start of December.
Treasury Board President Martin Coiteux said he would prefer it if there were no strikes at all.

“Of course I would prefer not to have rotating strikes,” he said.
“I would prefer the unions to use a strategy that would not disrupt public services. This is what I think should be appropriate, now they have their own strategies.”
There are several disagreements between the provincial government and unionized workers, including the issue of salaries.
