Massive Union Demonstration in Montreal on November 29 includes over 50 000 members from across Quebec
Following the introduction of several unpopular bills by the CAQ government, unions across the province rallied in Montreal against one in particular, Bill 3.
Who really benefits from Bill 3?
The winners:
Employers (more power, less union resistance)
Accounting firms ($25 million per year)
The CAQ government (weakening of a counter-balance)
The business community (political return on investment)
The losers:
Workers (less protection)
Unions (resources diverted, weakened democracy)
Civil society (loss of a counter-balance)
Quebec democracy (interference with freedom of association)
Bill 3 claims to free workers from their unions, when in reality it seeks to free employers from union resistance.
The best defense against this doctrine? Critical analysis, facts, and mobilization.
That is why it is essential to publicly expose this dangerous political strategy and to mobilize against Bill 3.
The QFL Regional Council adopted a declaration of solidarity and a call to action for November 29, under the theme “L’hiver sera chaud”. With this declaration, we are denouncing the setbacks and attacks by the CAQ government targeting workers, reaffirming our support for ongoing struggles in several sectors, and emphasizing our intention to make the QFL in Montreal a genuine rallying point.
