After 5,300 members of the Syndicat des professionals in Revenu Québec, it is the turn of 6,000 members of the Syndicat de la fonction publique to consider a strike in Revenu Québec.
Thursday, the Union of Quebec Government Professionals (SPGQ) announced that its members voted a proportion of 93.4% in favor of a strike to be held in the evenings and weekends.
Now it is the turn of the Union of Public and Parapublic Service of Quebec (SFPQ) to announce that it is inviting its members to vote in favor of the 10-day strike mandate on Revenu Quebec.
The members of SFPQ will decide on this topic through the national holiday, Patrick Audy, vice-president of the union, said in an interview on Friday.
