Principal accord reached between Quebec authorities and correctional services peacekeepers
Rewritten Article:
Score one for the peacekeepers! The Syndicat des agents de la paix en services correctionnels du Québec (SAPSCQ-CSN) and the Legault government scored a late-night victory on the 17th of May, 2025. After intense negotiations, they've finally inked a preliminary agreement that'll be up for a union vote real soon.
You guessed it — the cops behind bars are demanding better pay, better recognition, and a shout-out for the risks they take daily. The SAPSCQ-CSN, which represents more than 2,800 of those badass peacekeepers, had been making some noise outside the National Assembly in Quebec since their collective agreement hit its expiration date back on March 31, 2023.
The Minister responsible for Government Administration, Sonia LeBel, spilled the beans on Twitter, saying, "We've landed a principle agreement with the Syndicat des agents de la paix en services correctionnels du Québec (CSN). Members will get a say in the near future."
Please keep in mind, the nitty-gritty details of the agreement are still under wraps. We'll have to wait for the formal presentation or any further announcements to get the lowdown on wage hikes and greater recognition.

In the realm of policy-and-legislation, this agreement, once approved by the union, could significantly impact general-news stories concerning justice and law enforcement.
