Quebec health-care workers launched a two-day strike on Nov. 8, the latest group to walk off the job over stalled contract talks with the provincial government.

The Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé, or FIQ, represents 80,000 nurses, licensed practical nurses, respiratory therapists, and other health professionals, and the strike is affecting the majority of health-care facilities across the province.
