We commemorate the great triumphs of workers in Quebec, Canada and around the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1063930\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quebec's labour movement, since its beginnings in Montreal at the start of the 19th century, throughout the struggles of the 1950s and the Quiet Revolution and finally through union-sponsored investment funds, has put workers at the heart of sustainable economic and social development. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1063931\" data-originallang=\"fr\">However, there is still much to be done: creating a federal anti-strikebreaker law, extending pay equity throughout Canada, defending the manufacturing and forestry sectors, promoting international union rights and guaranteeing quality public services.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1063932\" data-originallang=\"fr\">And it is with the latter in mind that this year we are adding our voices to those of the Coalition du 1er mai, composed of unions and student, feminist, community and university organizations, in support of a quality, public, universal and free health care system .</p>",
