    Unionists in Quebec mobilize to oppose antilabor legislation BY SYLVIE CHARBIN, The Militant  
    MONTREAL—The Quebec Liberal government has decided to ram through several antilabor bills before the Quebec National Assembly recesses December 19. In response, tens of thousands of unionists and other working people across the province took to the streets December 11, despite sometimes freezing rain, in what Quebec union leaders billed as a “national day of disruption.”

    The actions capped off two weeks of demonstrations and other protests organized by all the main Quebec union federations. Several news commentators here have described the mobilizations as the most important union actions in 30 years, that is, since the general strike that swept the province in June 1972.
