Nearly 2,500 of the province's ambulance technicians and paramedics are likely headed for an unlimited general strike after talks broke down one day before the contract negotiation deadline.
The workers, represented by the CSN labour federation, are set to go on strike at 6 p.m. ET today.
Last-minute talks broke down yesterday afternoon, leaving little hope that a deal will be reached before the deadline.
The union has stressed that the general public won't be affected by the job action.
As an essential service, the ambulance technicians are required to provide emergency care during a contract dispute.
While picket lines could be set up, the strike will primarily affect administrative functions and the training of interns.
The ambulance workers have been without a contract since March 2010. They're seeking a revised salary scale and better pensions and benefits.
The CSN, which represents 60 per cent of the province's ambulance workers, reached a tentative deal in July, but 71 per cent of its members voted against the deal in October.
