Acronym acrimony in Quebec as anti-corruption unit warns union over using ‘UPAC’

MONTREAL — Call it acronym acrimony.

The province’s anti-corruption unit certainly wasn’t laughing over a public-sector union’s appropriation of the word ”UPAC.”

The four letters make up the unit’s French acronym and are very well known in the province.

So the corruption fighters weren’t happy when they found out a union representing professionals working in the Quebec public service had appropriated the acronym.
