Levesque primes anti strike arsenal in Quebec
Premier Rene Levesque declares that charges against employees and union leaders will be pursued in court if the weekend strike by Quebec teachers continues. He vows to enforce the harsh law with severe penalties starting at the top, while dismissing verbal attacks as “verbal delirium.” The Education Minister notes there is no goodwill to offer to illegal strikers, as the union seeks support from the U S National Education Association.
