New opportunities are available to trade unions. Labour shortage and inflation provide favourable situations for trade union organizations, allowing them to regain lost ground. Furthermore, in addition to the recent decision of the Quebec Court of Appeal concerning Aluminerie de Bécancour Inc. (ABI) student workers, which recognizes that they cannot be paid less to perform equivalent tasks, recent legislative changes make it more difficult to adopt disparity treatment clauses and require the obligation of equivalent remuneration for agency workers. Recognizing the need for organizational change (the theme of this publication) for the various stakeholders in the labour world, the authors then ask this question: how could trade union organizations seize the opportunity that has arisen? In other words, how could they contribute to reducing job insecurity while ensuring the sustainabilityof organizations? After five decades of "headwinds", the situation is ripe for trade unions to take the offensive again and work to reverse the tide of job insecurity. To achieve this, the fetters of union corporatism must be released, and above all, trade unions must not be complacent with member satisfaction. On the contrary, education, mobilization and security actions are needed to counter the precariousness of the labour market. This favourable situation must also benefit precarious workers; such an opportunity will seldom arise!

How are video games discussed through time in the Belle Province? Do Quebecers share a common and specific video game culture? We try to answer those two questions in this paper through an analysis of Bibliothèque and Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) catalogue. We compiled and analyzed a variety of discourses created and presented by (and for) Quebecers between 1978 and 2018. As we talk about different trends animating discourses on video games, we also discuss the limitations of BAnQ’s catalogue and the state of video game preservation in Quebec. We focus on a few key items pinpointed during our research at the Collection nationale.
Keywords: Jeu vidéo, Histoire, Culture, Québec, Analyse de discours, Magazines, Industrie, Video game, Industry, History, Quebec, Discourse analysis
