MONTREAL — A nurses union on Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula says job postings by the local health-care network discriminate against francophone people because they require that applicants speak English.

Union president Pier-Luc Bujold says the postings are disconnected from reality and amount to a kind of discrimination that belongs in a previous century.

The union says the decision to limit jobs to bilingual applicants is especially inappropriate given staff shortages and recruitment challenges in the health network.The Gaspé Peninsula health network, the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de la Gaspésie, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
