Summary
Six female lawyers at Quebec’s Ombudsman’s Office have gone on indefinite strike over pay equity, accusing the government of blocking fair compensation despite their critical role in public accountability. Union leader Alexis Milette highlights the irony: while the Ombudsman is meant to hold the government to account, it’s being pressured by the very entity it serves — undermining staff independence. The employer insists it remains operationally autonomous but must comply with public finance rules. With negotiations ongoing, the strike continues to disrupt vital services handling complaints against government agencies and social programs.
