Quebec’s public lawyers and notaries still have not reached a deal with the provincial government and will be moving on to mandatory mediation.
On Feb. 28, a special law was passed forcing the union members back to work after a months-long strike. The law included a 45-day negotiation period for the two sides to reach a new contract, a period which could be extended once.
On April 12, the union agreed to extend the negotiations until the end of the month but are now saying a deal is not imminent.
According to the special law, the mediation period will last between 30 and 45 days.
