On July 6, the date when mandated return to office four days a week came into effect, USJE and PSAC members took action at several Correctional Service of Canada sites to denounce a policy that they feel is unjustified and disconnected from the situation in the field. This mobilization followed other actions held in previous weeks, in particular on June 23 at the Guy-Favreau complex, where members from the Parole Board of Canada (PBC) and Justice Canada gathered along with the Regional Vice-President for Quebec (RCMP-Justice-PPSC-CSC Community-PBC), Annie Blanchette.
