Workers strike in Quebec (salary, law, medical)

[Suesbal]

I wonder if this public sector strike will spread to other provinces.

Unlikely as the provincial labour sectors aren't connecting vessels. Every salary, working condition and bargaining milieu is unique to each province.

While the nurses are striking, who’s minding the patients?
In the US, most people in the medical profession are in the private sector.

They aren't all striking at the same time, as there are provisions for essential services in the law and in collective bargaining agreements.

Yup, I working in a hospital, they take turns striking so that there is always some coverage. Still, effectively there are fewer hours worked, so our capacity globally is reduced.
