About 200 off duty Laval police officers staged a noisy demonstration at Laval city hall last evening.
The city council meeting went off without a hitch, but the message was delivered loudly and clearly.
Police officers in Laval are in the midst of a protracted contract dispute and are still upset over pension reform.
Dozens of on-duty police officers were on hand to ensure the protest did not get out of hand.
The Journal de Montreal says the demonstration could have been much bigger but earlier in the day the Labour Relations Board rejected a bid by night-shift officers to leave their posts to attend the protest.
