Quebec City, [19 March]— The Immigrant Workers Centre (CTI-IWC) joined forces with Action Chômage de Québec and RÉPAC 03-12 this afternoon to stand in solidarity with the Conseil régional FTQ Québec et Chaudière-Appalaches (CRQCA-FTQ) in its mobilization against Bill 89.
The controversial legislation has drawn sharp criticism from labor groups, who argue that it undermines the fundamental right to strike for workers across Quebec. Demonstrators gathered to voice their opposition, calling the bill an unacceptable restriction on workers’ ability to defend their rights.
Representatives from the CTI-IWC and allied organizations emphasized that Bill 89 weakens labor protections and shifts power further in favor of employers. “This bill is an attack on the hard-won rights of workers,” said a spokesperson from the CRQCA-FTQ. “We will not stand by while the government erodes our ability to fight for fair treatment.”
The mobilization reflects growing resistance to the proposed law, with unions and advocacy groups warning of broader protests if the bill advances. As debates over Bill 89 continue, Quebec’s labor movement is sending a clear message: any attempt to suppress the right to strike will be met with fierce opposition.
