The CSN, CSQ, APTS and FTQ, which form the Common Front of public sector unions, have been meeting separately since 9 or 10 a.m. on Tuesday, to take stock of negotiations with Quebec and decide on if they want to continue with the strike mandate they already have.

Below is a list of some of the press coverage from the 7-day strike.

On Monday November 6th all 420,000 public sector workers in the Common Front completed their first day in a sequence of strike days leading up to a general unlimited strike. Unsurprisingly we were all over the media! Here is some of the news coverage.

Thousands of public-sector workers carried turquoise flags Saturday afternoon through downtown Montreal.

The public sector common front revealed Monday that, according to a SOM poll, more than half of Quebecers believe that the nine per cent salary increases over five years offered by the government are not enough.
