grève illimitée 12/07/2016 ckut special broadcast.

in december, 2011, the first major moves toward the 2012 student strike began to take shape. just months before the strike began, 60,000 students formed the temporary coalition called classé (coalition large de l'association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante) which became the major organizing engine for the historic strike.

today, many of the issues raised during the strike remain. cuts to education / health care / public services continue in québec.
