Last spring, the FIQ launched a new platform enabling its affiliated unions to administer their own website for free. The idea was met with great enthusiasm and most of the FIQ’s member unions got on board and are currently developing their own website on the platform.

The FIQ joined in Montreal’s pride parade celebrations once again. For the FIQ, it was the perfect occasion to highlight the importance of fighting against discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The Administrative Labour Tribunal (TAT) once again conceded that the FIQ was justified in its request to include healthcare professionals from private employment agencies in its bargaining unit.

As agreed at their meeting with Mr. Barrette on July 13, 2017, the three MUHC unions’ spokespeople reiterated their demand for seats on the MUHC’s Board of Directors. They demanded “three permanent seats among the ten vacant on the institution’s Board of Directors.” In other words, one seat per labour organization involved.

The FIQ’s Women’s Network activists have been meeting twice a year since 1990. These meetings are important occasions to exchange, reflect and debate together as women and healthcare professionals.
