Over 1100 members of Quebec’s government lawyers and notaries will be going on strike as of Monday, October 24.
Results released Wednesday show that 84 per cent of over 1100 members voted yes to the mandate Tuesday night.
The strike would suspend all work on draft laws and regulations, as well as legal advice and representation in court.
The vote took place in both Montreal and Quebec City.
Working conditions is the primary reason behind the dispute between the association and the government.
The strike will apply to the AMF, Board of Energy, Investissement Quebec and the Canada Revenue Agency as well.
A strike in 2011 ended after two weeks when the government passed back-to-work legislation, forcing notaries and other provincial government lawyers to return to their jobs.
