Fifty years after the formation of the first Front commun in 1972, the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN), the Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ), the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec (FTQ) and the Alliance du personnel professionnel et technique de la santé et des services sociaux (APTS) are joining forces in order to negotiate in alliance. We will therefore be more than 420,000 members speaking with one voice for this round of negotiations.
