I have another to offer you: The union that says no.
As soon as someone proposes a reform, the union says No!
No no no.
And no.
“We won’t change the way we do things, no!”
- Listen to the Martineau – Dutrizac meeting between Benoît Dutrizac and Richard Martineau via QUB :
LET’S CLEAR HISTORY!
When Sylvain Malette was president of the FAE, every time I saw him on TV, I didn’t need to turn up the sound to know what he was saying, I guessed it straight away.
He said No.
He looked like an anglophone in the voting booth during a referendum on the independence of Quebec.
“Do you find that…”
No!
“Do you think that…”
No!
“Would you be okay if…”
No!
Malette has left her post, but the reflex persists.
If the government proposes something, it is sure to be bad.
Look at the FAE’s reaction to Bill 47 led by Minister Drainville.
The minister wants us to stop erasing a teacher’s file as soon as he changes position or school.
Have you received a reprimand or been subject to disciplinary action following misconduct?
It will be entered in your file, and if you change school or assignment, this information will not be erased, it will follow you. Just to allow your new manager to check your background.
It makes sense, right?
After all, you don’t spend your days folding cardboard boxes, you work with children, it’s normal that we can know your history, know if you yelled at a student or if you twisted her arm .
I am sure that all parents are for this measure.
Well, the FAE and the CSQ are against it.
No no no no no.
Under the pretext that teachers have a “right” to an “amnesty” and a second chance.
And the risk that the teacher misbehaves a second time? What about the “right” to know if a teacher has behavioral problems or not?
“Ugh. Not our problem.”
And it says solidarity…
So, so, stupidity, yes!

STICKS IN THE WHEELS
Do you remember the time when it was said that unions were agents of social change?
Today, we increasingly have the impression that they are defending inaction.
We must transform union democracy from top to bottom in order to prevent a small band of crackpots from infiltrating the vote and imposing their points of view?
No.
Should construction contractors be allowed to hire workers who reside in regions other than their own, in order to alleviate the labor shortage?
No.
Should we encourage greater flexibility in order, for example, to allow a painter to draw joints and carry out plastering jobs, which would help reduce project delays and costs?
No.
Our system is sclerotic. Everyone says it, he needs air.
Less paperwork and strict rules that stifle initiative.
But for that, we all have to push in the same direction.
Rather than pulling the blanket each on their own.
