About 100 employees from Cégep de Jonquière marched to the office of local Government of Québec Member of the National Assembly Yannick Gagnon on Friday to protest the provincial cuts to Quebec’s cégep system. Participants representing faculty, support staff, and professionals raised concerns about hiring freezes; caps on paid hours; and the non-renewal of vacant, project-based, and retiring positions. Union representatives said that the effects of reduced funding are already being felt on campus, despite institutional efforts to maintain student services.
