Episode Notes The Common Front went into detail on their agreement in principle with the Quebec government at a Jan. 7 press conference. The Common Front is a coalition of public and parapublic sector unions representing 420,000 workers in the province. Union leaders confirmed reports that they'd obtained 17.4 percent salary gains over five years. The agreement also includes inflationary protections, bonuses for specialized workers, and a pay bump for psychologists, as well as advances in vacation time, pensions, and insurance contributions. Workers will vote on the proposal at general assemblies from Jan. 15 to Feb. 19.
