On Monday, November 6th, over 420,000 public sector workers in Quebec will stage a partial one-day strike. This significant action might be a precursor to an unlimited General Strike in the province.
These workers, spanning sectors like healthcare, education, municipalities, and more, are fighting for fair wages that keep up with inflation, improved working conditions and better public services.
Workers in Quebec are fighting for many of the same things we are fighting for here in Ontario.
The OFL is organizing a solidarity rally because if they win ā we all win!
