Daycare walkout called off

The rotating strikes which were supposed to affect many Montreal daycare centres on Thursday were called off as reported by CTV.

On Wednesday night the union representing the daycare workers announced that talks have advanced. This led to the union calling off the walkout as well as those which were scheduled to take place this Monday and Tuesday.

The daycare workers have been holding rotating walkouts over the past ten days to pressure the government to step up negotiations.

The workers have been without a contract for 2 years.
