In the wake of the launch of Working on the Edge, UCCO-SACC-CSN received an invitation from the cabinet of Mrs. Dominique Vien, Minister of Labor in Quebec, to discuss the issues of this campaign. The meeting was held today in Quebec City, in the presence of Pierre Milette, Chief of Staff, Frédérick Lebeau, President of the Quebec Region, Eric Thibault, National VP and Olivier Rousseau, CSN Union Advisor. The chief of staff listened to our requests and said the minister wants to look at different avenues to recognize the importance of post-traumatic stress disorder among first responders, including correctional officers.
The struggle for this recognition is not over, but we consider it a step in the right direction.
In solidarity,
Your regional executive
