This is the best summary I could come up with:

Quebec now has tentative deals with all the unions that make up the common front — the FTQ, the CSN, the APTS and the CSQ — which launched a series of strikes starting in November that shut down schools and delayed surgeries.

The Fédération des professionnelles et professionnels de l’éducation du Quebec (FPPE), a CSQ-affiliated union, said Wednesday its elected leadership unanimously approved a tentative agreement reached on Dec. 23.

“We think the agreement in principle reached today contains elements that will significantly improve the working conditions of professional staff for several years,” union president Jacques Landry said in a news release.

But he cautioned that the deal won’t be presented to members for final approval until salaries are settled, adding that without a complete agreement, the common front unions will walkout in early 2024.

On Saturday and Sunday, Quebec announced a flurry of tentative deals with several labour groups belonging to the common front, including unions representing teachers, school support staff and health-care system employees.

Marc Ranger, the former Quebec director for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), says though the negotiations have reached a critical point, the issue of salaries still renders them fragile.
