About 80,000 unionized Quebec nurses and other health-care workers will be joining fellow public sector workers already on strike since last week.

The health workers are members of the FIQ, who will begin a four-day strike on Dec. 11, joining workers from four unions representing 420,000 Quebec public sector workers who began a weeklong strike on Friday.
