    Labour din grows By KEVIN DOUGHERTY
    Thousands march 'Day of Disruption' called for Dec. 11

    A massive crowd of between 20,000 and 30,000 people protested outside the National Assembly yesterday in freezing temperatures.

    Participants denounced what they called the "Charest-Taillon" government agenda, which aims to overhaul provincial labour laws to allow more subcontracting of government services.

    The demonstration, spearheaded by the 280,000-member Confédération des syndicats nationaux, was directed as much against Gilles Taillon, president of the Conseil du patronat du Québec, as against the Liberal government of Premier Jean Charest.
