Teachers' strike on Sept. 30

Published: 29 September 2015

“Teachers in many French public schools are planning a one-day strike on Wednesday, Sept. 30, to voice their displeasure over contract talks with the Quebec government.” (Source: The Montreal Gazette)

“The situation in Quebec is part of a convergence of two trends we are currently seeing across North America. On the one hand, governments are disinvesting from public education in the name of balanced budgets. On the other, teachers unions are forging new alliances with parents and community members to defend public education. The scorecard is mixed so far, but it shows the continued importance of unions as a voice in public debates.”
