The FIQ, in turn, denounces the end of certain bonus payments to nursing staff from September 30th.
The Interprofessional Health Federation, which represents 80,000 nurses, practical nurses and other medical professionals, denounces the situation, in a context where there is already demotivation and dissatisfaction among staff.
He estimates that nurses affected by the end of these allowances on September 30 will lose up to 7.5% for the evening shift, 6% for the night shift and 3.5% for the day shift.
In fact, these bonuses need to be renegotiated while the parties have been busy negotiating the renewal of collective agreements in the public sector for months. The contracts expired on March 31st.
The FIQ would have liked these bonuses to remain in place until new regulations for unfavorable work shifts were negotiated in the next collective agreements.
On Thursday it was the Joint Public Sector Trade Union Front that also denounced the end of certain bonuses on September 30th.
Treasury Board President Sonia LeBel responded that some of these bonuses had already been extended in March and then in June. They now have to be renegotiated according to priorities, she explained.
