As reported by Nunatsiaq News on January 20, nurses at clinics throughout the Hudson Bay coast in Nunavik, Quebec, staged a walkout over staffing shortages and working conditions. The protest began at 5 pm on January 19 and ended the following morning after the nurses were ordered to return to work by the Quebec Administrative Labour Tribunal, who intervened at the request of the nurses employer, Inuulitsivik Health Centre. Following the walkout, the nurses’ union and Inuulitsivik management have arranged meetings to discuss the situation and attempt to address concerns. (Nunatsiaq News)
