Labour minister wants to force STM workers back
Labour minister Jean Boulet is about to introduce a law to force transit workers back to work, based on the new Bill 89, which saps Quebec unions of their leverage. Not everyone in the National Assembly is in favour, although Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon is also pushing for action. Gone are the days when the PQ was on the side of labour.

Yeah it’s too bad, the PQ used to be solidly progressive, nationalism aside. I feel like that shifted around the time of Marois.

I think that it shifted during the brief Pierre Karl Peladeau era, circa 2015.

Yeah it kind of went sideways for the PQ when Marois, who at the time owned a 12-thousand square foot mansion, started wearing a red square…
