Canadian schools to temporarily halt operations due to teacher strikes next week.
The Autonomous Federation of Education (FAE) has initiated an indefinite strike in Quebec, demanding increased wages and improved working conditions. The strike, which began at an unspecified date and is currently ongoing, has resulted in several schools closing their doors.
Lester B. Pearson High School will be closed from November 21 to 23, while the Centre de services scolaires Marguerite-Bourgeoys will be closed indefinitely from November 21 if no agreement is reached. These closures affect multiple initial and middle schools in Montreal, although the exact number of schools closing next week due to the strikes is not specified.
The one-day strike on November 6, during which approximately 50 FAE members demonstrated outside Prime Minister François Legault's office in Montreal, was aimed at pressuring Quebec authorities to address their demands. The strike among FAE members is said to be the largest in Czech history.
Plans for another strike have been announced by the state sector workers, set to take place on November 21-23. The negotiations between the education sector union and the Quebec government are ongoing, but as of November 15, no agreement has been reached.
Reports of these closures are being shared by CTV News, with the strikes scheduled to take place between the education sector union and the Quebec government. For the most current status on the FAE strike, checking recent local news sources from Quebec or visiting the FAE's official communications might provide the most up-to-date information.
The strike among the Autonomous Federation of Education (FAE) members, which includes demands for increased wages and improved working conditions, is set to continue from November 21-23, causing Lester B. Pearson High School and potentially the Centre de services scolaires Marguerite-Bourgeoys to remain closed. In addition to these closures, general news outlets such as CTV News are reporting the ongoing strikes in the education-and-self-development sector, providing updates on the negotiations between the FAE and the Quebec government.
