Labor negotiations for prehospital workers in Quebec have seen mixed results across different unions. In late July, the Fédération des syndicats du secteur de la santé du Québec (CSN) reached a principle agreement with the provincial government to renew their collective contract, settling matters regarding salary, benefits, and bonuses. However, the Fédération du préhospitalier du Québec (FPHQ) noted that negotiations continue regarding other issues, specifically the retirement regime.

By mid-August, tensions escalated with the Fraternité des travailleurs et travailleuses du préhospitalier du Québec (FTPQ) rejecting an employer offer by a 92% margin. The union cited insufficient recognition of salary and working conditions, specifically highlighting unresolved issues regarding retirement, part-time employee conditions, and regional disparities in premium applications. The FTPQ has signaled intentions to return to the negotiating table and implement mobilization strategies.
