Quebec residential construction workers have walked off the job
AI Article Summary

Construction workers in Quebec's residential sector have gone on strike after negotiations with the employer failed. The strike could affect the construction of thousands of homes, and the workers are demanding higher salary increases than offered. Quebec's Labour Minister has expressed concern about the impact on housing availability but is currently not considering back-to-work legislation. The dispute remains unresolved as both parties have not agreed to arbitration.
