Quebec nurses, health-care workers begin 4-day walkout

Global News published this video item, entitled “Quebec nurses, health-care workers begin 4-day walkout” – below is their description.

Tens of thousands of nurses and other health-care professionals walked off the job Monday in Quebec as a deal with public sector workers remained off the table.

The Fédération Interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec or FIQ, which represents 80,000 nurses, licensed practical nurses and respiratory therapists, is holding a four-day strike. Essential services like emergency rooms remain open by law, but Quebecers can expect delays in health-care institutions.

The health-care workers’ walkout overlaps with other strikes, meaning more than 550,000 people will be on picket lines across the province this week.

Global News’ Brayden Jagger Haines has the details.
