After progress was made in negotiations to renew public sector collective agreements over the weekend, negotiations are suspended until after Christmas.
"Negotiations will continue on December 26, 2023," Treasury Board president Sonia LeBel wrote on X, formerly called Twitter, on Sunday evening.
The CSQ union also confirmed this information on X.
Over the past few days, several advances were made at sectoral tables in health and education, and multiple unions announced they had reached tentative agreements on working conditions -- but not on wages.
Late Sunday afternoon, the provincial government announced it had agreed to sectoral settlement proposals with nine CSQ-affiliated unions and all eight CSN-affiliated unions.
APTS and the CUPE's Conseil des collèges (colleges council), affiliated with the FTQ, also announced on Sunday that a tentative agreement was reached after a night of intensive work at the sectoral bargaining table.
The APTS represents 65,000 members in the health and social services sector.
