The Fédération autonome de l'enseignement (FAE) is a group of nine unions representing over 66,500 teachers working in Quebec's education sector. These teachers work the realm of preschool, elementary, secondary, prison, vocational and adult education. The staffs of the Peter Hall Schools (private schools for mentally deficient students) and the Centre académique Fournier (a private school for students with an adjustment disorder), as well as 2,600 members of the FAE Retirees Association (APRFAE),[1] are also part of the FAE.

The FAE presently has members and operates in the Montreal, Capitale-Nationale, Laval, Outaouais, Laurentian, Eastern Townships and Montérégie regions.

History

The FAE was originally formed in 2006 by 9 ex-unions, or 27,000 ex-members, of the Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ). They separated from the CSQ because they were disappointed with the strategies the CSQ and its teachers' unit, the Fédération des syndicats de l'enseignement, adopted, particularly in regards to the gender pay gap, the implementation of an education reform, and the negotiations made to renew their collective agreement with the Quebec government of 2004 and 2005.[2]

On June 28, 2006, the movement held its first federative council in Dorval, where it adopted the permanent name of Fédération autonome de l'enseignement.[3]

Since November 23, 2023, the FAE's 66,000 affiliated members have been on an unlimited general strike.[4] This is the first time teachers have used this pressure tactic since 1983.[5]
