Quebecs Administrative Labour Tribunal denies ambulance companies request to classify paramedic internship supervision as essential service during strikes. Judge Bédard emphasizes good-faith talks, dismisses immediate public safety concerns, and hints at a potential 17.4% pay raise to settle disputes. Unions involved are from Fédération de la santé et des services sociaux with CSN, Travailleurs ambulanciers syndiqués de Beauce, and Fédération du préhospitalier du Québec. Summer hiring looms as talks progress.
