"The mayor seems Labeaume say that puts pressure on our members, but this is not the case. We held a secret ballot, and the executive has made no recommendation, "summarized the president of the Brotherhood of Police of Quebec, Jean Beaudoin.
The police had met with representatives of the City Wednesday and they had maintained the ultimatum by Mayor Labeaume that offers salary would be cut, including the cancellation of retroactivity on the standard increases of 2% scheduled for 2007 and 2008, failing an agreement before 1 December.

Insisting that its members wanted a negotiated solution even if they continued to participate in the arbitration process, he added that the mayor Labeaume should expect more pressure from its members.
"The pressure goes up, but that is heating the oven? This is the mayor of Quebec! The head of negotiation, Richard Côté, accused us of not being creative enough to the table transactions, but we will be in our means of pressure, "said union president. "We remain, however, the same guideline is never to put safety and health of people in Quebec in danger. Our next means of pressure will be visibility, "he chained.
