Study finds significant support for Front Commun unions over Quebec government

A Léger study has assessed how Quebecers feel about the negotiations between the Quebec government and the Front Commun public sector unions. The study found that Quebecers are more likely to support the position of the Front Commun over the government by a margin of 2 to 1 (41% to 21%).

“After mentioning in the questionnaire that the Quebec government is offering a 10.3% salary increase over 5 years and that the Common Front wants a 20% salary increase over 3 years, support for the Common Front increases to 47% and the support of the Quebec government too, at 28% (25% do not know or refuse to answer).”

The 420,000 public sector workers that make up the Front Commun, which represents four major Quebec unions, held four strike days in November and plan to strike again from Dec. 8 to 14.
