Véronique Lessard makes no mention of the turmoil that has shaken the station since an investigation by Soleil conducted last winter reported an unhealthy work environment. His resignation comes a few days after the publication of articles in the Journal of Montreal in which ex-employees decried the bad faith of the leaders, and their tactics of handling disputes.
- Listen to Anaïs Guertain-Lacroix’s column at the microphone of Philippe-Vincent Foisy on QUB radio:
” At last ! “
ICI Quebec employees have welcomed the news. Our sources speak of “a step in the right direction”. ” At last ! We will be able to breathe, ”an employee told us on condition of anonymity.
Reached by phone, Daniel Coulombe, ex-cameraman of ICI Quebec who filed a harassment grievance last fall, wants a real change to take place. ” [Les employés] deserve a minimum of respect. They deserve to go back to work with peace of mind. “
Same story with the Union of Workers of Radio-Canada (STTRC). “With all due respect to Mme Lessard, we sincerely hope that this change will bring about a new form of leadership so that the people who work in Quebec can showcase their professionalism, their rigor and their creativity in a serene and healthy work climate ”, declared Isabelle Montpetit. , secretary-treasurer of STTRC-CSN.
