"It's the first time they've done that," says Normand Faubert, vice-president of the Union of Labatt Brewery Workers (CSN), representing 950 workers on strike.Faubert says the security guards began appearing in July when Labatt accused workers of making death threats.

Faubert says Labatt has taken action against one worker who made a gesture signalling he would cut Labatt management's throats.

Normand Faubert, vice-president of the union, told TML that it is very unlikely that a big company like Labatt is hiring contractors without a written contract and the union is planning to further pursue the issue of scabs.
