Negotiations continue between legal aid lawyers and Quebec as the threat of strike days still looms large.
The Federation of Legal Aid Lawyers, which represents 210, held discussions on Friday and another meeting is scheduled for early next week.
The Federation of Legal Aid Lawyers, which is independent of trade unions, always has a bank strike day, which can be used at the appropriate time.
As for the 200 legal aid lawyers attached to the Federation of Professionals, affiliated with CSNwe are considering giving ourselves another strike mandate.
Those in the Bas Saint-Laurent – Gaspésie – Îles-de-la-Madeleine region voted unanimously in favor of a seven-day strike mandate to be applied in due course. Votes will take place in other localities in the coming days.
The two organizations are demanding equal pay for their members with criminal and penal prosecuting attorneys.
