What Fédération des professionnelles et professionnels de l'éducation du Québec does

The Fédération des professionnelles et professionnels de l'éducation du Québec (FPPE) is a labor federation representing professional education personnel in Quebec's public school system, including psychologists, guidance counselors, special education professionals, pedagogical consultants, and administrative services professionals. The federation operates as FPPE-CSQ and is affiliated with the Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ), one of Quebec's major labor confederations. FPPE represents more than 2,000 professionals across four school networks: Francophone (P1), Anglophone (P2), Cree (P3), and Kativik (P4), with collective agreements negotiated at the sectoral level for the 2023-2028 period.

The federation's core service is collective bargaining and labor representation, including management of salary scales, classification plans, parental insurance, retirement planning, and insurance coverage. FPPE does not sell products or services commercially; its revenue is derived from membership dues paid by affiliated union members. The organization is led by a small staff of 7 employees and governed by elected representatives, with a president and executive committee setting strategic direction. Member communications are delivered through publications including La Passerelle and La Passerelle Négo, a YouTube channel, a Facebook page, and an email newsletter supported by the CSQ SharePoint extranet.

FPPE's external activities include advocacy on systemic issues such as violence in schools, staffing shortages, professional workload, and public services privatization. The federation organizes events including the annual Semaine des Pros and periodic congresses, with the 19th Congress held in 2025. Strike actions occurred at the Cree School Board in November 2024 and at the Kativik School Board in December 2024 during collective bargaining negotiations. Carolane Desmarais became president in 2025, succeeding Jacques Landry who served for over 35 years.
