(Montreal) A group of legal aid lawyers walk out for half a day on Monday, while the renewal of their collective agreement is still not concluded with the Quebec government.
Posted at 11:39 a.m.
It was lawyers attached to the Federation of Professionals, affiliated with the CSN, who walked out during the morning. They had already walked out earlier this month.
In mid-June, lawyers in the Montreal-Laval, Bas Saint-Laurent-Gaspésie and Laurentides-Lanaudière regions also voted in favor of another strike mandate, this time for seven days, to be exercised at right moment.
The other group, that of the Federation of Legal Aid Lawyers, an independent grouping of labor centrals which has 210 members, has still not concluded the renewal of its collective agreement either.
The two organizations claim pay parity with criminal and penal prosecuting attorneys.
