Quebec Paramedics Reach in-Principle Agreement with Government
The agreement follows more than a year of strike action and will be presented to 3,500 paramedics for a vote, the union said.
- On Saturday night, the Quebec government and CSN-affiliated unions reached a tentative agreement covering 3,500 paramedics. This deal follows more than three years without a collective contract for workers, including over 1,000 at Urgences-santé.
- The agreement concluded six days of intensive negotiations held between July 20 and 25. This tentative deal follows more than a year of strike action that began in July 2025, with the dispute centred largely on pay.
- Details remain confidential until members vote on the content. Quebec Treasury Board President France-Élaine Duranceau noted the agreement would improve working conditions and help ensure efficient, continuous ambulance services for the public.
- Union pressure tactics are suspended pending the upcoming vote, with the exception of uniform-related actions. Jean Gagnon, head of the pre-hospital sector at the FSSS-CSN, stated, "They are the ones who will have the final say on its adoption."
- As soon as possible, the agreement will be presented to members. This settlement covers paramedics across the province, including those working for Urgences-santé in Montreal and Laval, ending a prolonged dispute.
