Young CAQ members attack unions at their convention in Lévis

At their convention in Lévis on Saturday, young Coalition Avenir Québec members said unions engage in “undemocratic” practices, echoing arguments put forward by the Legault government.

They deplored assemblies with “prohibitive conditions,” “radical” positions, and a “lack of transparency” in how dues are used.

Education Minister Bernard Drainville has made similar comments and continues to attack the Fédération autonome de l’enseignement (FAE), which he claims has become a “political movement.”
