Typical lousy coverage of demands. 36% sounds pretty sweet over 4 years – what are they psid now? How does it compare across sectors? How many types of work are being negotiated? How do the other demands relate to current conditions? What is the parent union? Do other unions have any skin in this game?

For clarification, by parent I mean sectoral, CSN is the next level up.

That item mentions the hotel sector of the CSN, but most pieces I’m finding on this are all the same report from CP. Radio‑Canada’s edit has more information about their other demands. A week ago, CBC reported on the rising price of hotel rooms and how workers feel that should be reflected in their pay rates.

Thank you, that’s important context.
As far as union structures go I am in the “education sector” of the CSN – but there are lots of sectoral unions within that, as we saw in the teacher’s strike. I’m in FNEEQ, for example.
