The Federation of Early Childhood Workers of Quebec (FIPEQ-CSQ) union representing approximately 10,000 Quebec home daycare workers confirmed through a Facebook presentation that the total pay rate increase in the tentative agreement is $1.51 an hour.

The tentative deal would bring the 2022 – 2023 workers hourly rate to $13.93, well short of the $16.75 per hour the union demanded.

The home daycare workers who according, to the FIPEQ-CSQ, currently earn $12.42 per hour, had rejected the government’s previous offer of $13.43.
