QUEBEC — The province says it will appoint a conciliator to help bridge the gap in stalled contract negotiations with public sector unions ahead of major strikes this week.
The conciliator’s recommendations, however, won’t be binding.
A labour group representing about 420,000 public sector workers in education, health, and social services asked for a conciliator to help talks advance.
The group, which calls itself the “common front” will hold a three-day strike starting Tuesday.
