Quebec's Largest Nurses' Union Submits Complaint with UN Agency Over 'Forced Labour'

(2022, February 14). Quebec's Largest Nurses' Union Submits Complaint with UN Agency Over 'Forced Labour'. CBC News. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/nurses-union-submits-complaint-un-agency-1.6349672

CBC News writes: "The Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé (FIQ), which represents 76,000 workers, including nurses and nursing assistants, says the forced overtime nurses have endured throughout the pandemic is counter to conventions that Canada has signed with the UN agency. It pointed to conventions 29 and 105, which state that countries signing onto the convention must take action to 'suppress the use of forced or compulsory labour in all its forms.'...The union said the forced overtime could also be considered a form of sex-based discrimination, since the profession is overwhelmingly made up of women, which would contravene other conventions Canada has signed with the agency."

"Mandatory overtime is detrimental to nurses' health, families and personal lives, the union said. The care provided to the public is progressively deteriorating, it said. Burnout and depression among nurses is common, and many are leaving the profession or going into the private sector to find a more sustainable work-life balance...Mandatory overtime has generated at least 25,000 grievances filed by nurses against their employers, the complaint notes...Nurses represented by the union have also taken part in days of collective action in 2019 and 2021, when they refused mandatory overtime, the union said. The federal government is required to submit a response to the complaint. Afterward, the agency will be at liberty to submit recommendations to address the complaint. The process is likely to be lengthy, lasting up to a year or more, and any recommendations made will ultimately be non-binding."
