00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,418
The Société des arrimeurs de Québec
2
00:00:01,418 --> 00:00:03,670
locked out the longshoreman of the Port of Quebec.
3
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:07,257
A lockout is when the employer refuses to have its employees work
4
00:00:07,257 --> 00:00:09,342
to force them to accept working conditions.
5
00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:12,053
The 81 longshoremen are not off work by choice,
6
00:00:12,053 --> 00:00:13,263
they are forced to do so!
7
00:00:13,263 --> 00:00:15,265
In addition, unskilled strikebreakers
8
00:00:15,265 --> 00:00:17,934
were hired to do the work of longshoremen.
9
00:00:17,934 --> 00:00:19,853
Serious accidents could happen!
10
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:21,813
The Société des arrimeurs de Québec doesn't care!
11
00:00:21,813 --> 00:00:25,900
Longshoremen just want to work, without risking everyone's safety.
12
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:27,152
Is that too much to ask?
13
00:00:27,152 --> 00:00:29,904
