Several Quebec daycares start strike actions
Several daycares affiliated with FIPEQ unions started their strike actions Friday morning.
The CSQ-affiliated Fédération des intervenantes en petite enfance (FIPEQ) represents 3,000 childcare workers in Quebec.
This Friday morning, workers in the daycares concerned opened at 7:30 a.m., later than usual, which will continue these coming Fridays.
Next week, the daycares will open at 8:30 a.m., the following week at 10 a.m. and at noon the week after that.
FIPEQ also represents around 9,000 self-employed childcare workers (RSE) who work in home settings, where the strike began last Monday. Here too, the strike is taking the form of a later-than-usual opening of service.
A “welcoming committee” of the CSQ and FIPEQ went to the Montreal offices of the Family Minister to lobby on behalf of the Responsables de services éducatifs en milieu familial.
