“I denounce intimidation towards the employees of the county offices. These are employees who serve, “said Minister Maïté Blanchette Vézina.

Thursday morning, two individuals, “who pretended to be citizens” presented themselves at his Rimouski district office. Once inside, they would have called their colleagues so that they come to join them. “They were asked to go out and they refused,” said Blanchette Vézina.

About twenty constables have invaded the office, dressed in their work clothes. They chanted slogans in a worse speaker launched confetti before leaving the premises.

“Pacific demonstrations are fine. But making a subterfuge in a county office to intimidate the employees is unacceptable, “rags the minister.

The collective agreement for Quebec prison guards has been expired for more than a year and negotiations with the Treasury Board are difficult.

Matane-Matapédia’s PQ deputy, Pascal Bérubé, also denounced the glance.

“I condemn this union action towards the minister responsible for my region. It is not an appropriate way of being heard, ”he said.
