MONTREAL – Nearly 14,000 home daycares were closed on Monday, as hundreds of workers took to the streets of downtown Montreal.
It was all part of of their province-wide one-day strike, which forced the parents of more than 90,000 children to find alternative arrangements for the day.
Negotiations between the government and the Fédération des intervenantes en petite enfance du Québec (FIPEQ-CSQ) have been going for over a year.
