The Quebec government has faced criticism over the subsidy while citizens grapple with cost-of-living woes and while public sector unions are on strike.
The Front Commun, which includes members of four major public sector unions representing a 'common front' of some 420,000 workers, will be on the picket lines through Thursday.
Teachers, nurses, health-care workers, junior college professors and other public sector employees are set to strike at various times during the coming week.
Nurses and other health-care workers' two-day walkout will continue Thursday. The FIQ also announced strike days for Nov. 23 and Nov.24.
If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, the union representing about 65,000 teachers in Quebec say they will walk off the job on Nov. 23.
