Four major labor unions in Quebec just wrapped up their first sit-down with new premiere Christine Frachette, and they're calling it a breath of fresh air. This meeting went down on Wednesday evening in Quebec City, lasting a full one hour and 30 minutes right before International Workers' Day. Union leaders walked out smiling, saying the vibe was night and day compared to the old premiere. And Sua Lago. The talks kicked off a new chapter after months of tension, with no concrete demands on the table yet. Instead, they dove into big picture philosophies on how unions can help build Quebec moving forward. Union reps couldn't hide their relief, praising Frachette for actually listening without any confrontation. One leader called it cordial, professional, and reasonable, a total shift from the past year standoffs. They laid out their willingness to team up, but now they're watching closely for real action-like invites to collaborate on policy instead of just.
