As part of the study of Bill 42, which aims to “prevent and combat psychological harassment and sexual violence in the workplace,” the FTQ proposed that disciplinary measures imposed for acts of violence of a sexual nature no longer appear in the files of offending employees after two years.
You read correctly.
We’re not talking about an employee who lost his temper and yelled at his boss, no.
But acts of sexual violence!
Two years, and presto, we’re giving up!
Neither seen nor known.
As if nothing had happened!
Afterwards, we will be told that the unions are fighting for the improvement of society…
Well yes, Thing.
- Listen to the Martineau – Dutrizac meeting between Benoît Dutrizac and Richard Martineau via QUB :
Hello security!
I apologize, but…
It’s definitely a woman who heads the FTQ, right? I didn’t dream?
Is it Magali Picard?
“I am the spokesperson for 600,000 workers. The FTQ will transmit requests to the government that are essential for security,” said Ms. Picard when she was elected in November 2023.
It is essential for the safety of Quebecers to ensure that after two years, the records of workers who committed acts of sexual violence are erased, Ms. Picard?
Explain to us why, because I don’t really understand…
In April 2022, the FTQ submitted a long brief on harassment, assault and sexual violence in the workplace.
“Violence and sexual harassment have concrete physical and psychological effects for the people who experience it,” said this report. Over the past forty years, the center has chosen to actively campaign for healthy workplaces, free from violence, harassment and discrimination. No one should experience assault or harassment of any kind in their workplace.”
“The FTQ recommends the obligation for all employers to transmit data on the number of accidents and incidents of harassment, assault and sexual violence in their establishment and the measures put in place to eliminate the risks. .”
On the one hand, the FTQ requires employers to adopt concrete measures to combat sexual violence on their work sites.
On the other hand, it wants to erase the records of offending workers after two years, thus preventing employers from knowing the background of the workers they hire!
Hello?
Do you take sexual violence seriously, yes or no?

Funny choice
Spread the word…
Between protecting women on construction sites and protecting the “private lives” of attackers, the FTQ chose to protect the attackers.
Who said that the arrival of a woman at the head of the largest construction union would change mentalities?
This is the union mentality in all its pettiness.
“We must break the culture of silence regarding sexual assault,” says the FTQ in its brief…
I must be upset, but I have the impression that erasing the files of abusive workers contributes to reinforcing the culture of silence, not to breaking it!
Explain to us, Ms. Picard, why you prefer to protect the aggressors rather than the victims…
