Around 200 Confédération des syndicats nationaux workers (CSN) demonstrated around noon on Wednesday on Norman Bethune Square in downtown Montreal. The protest was against the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) planed budget cuts.

The MUHC in an effort to curb the $115-million deficit for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, had announced $50 million in cuts earlier this month

“The mismanagement has been there for many years,” said Paul Thomas, president of the MUHC workers union SECUSM-CSN, a division of the larger CSN.
