flag Quebec's Bill 3 splits union dues, sparking union opposition over fears of weakened power and increased bureaucracy.

flag Quebec union leaders are opposing Bill 3, a new labour law that would split union dues into mandatory and optional categories, restricting mandatory dues to core functions like bargaining and enforcing contracts. flag Activities such as political advocacy and public campaigns would require separate member approval. flag Leaders argue the bill, which also imposes costly auditing requirements, aims to weaken unions and create administrative chaos. flag Labour Minister Jean Boulet says the law increases transparency and ensures members know how their dues are used. flag The bill faces parliamentary hearings, with unions vowing strong opposition.
