The Next Collective Agreement: What’s At Stake

This morning, I invited Marc Philippe Laurin, president of the CMG’s CBC branch, and George C.B. Smith, Senior Vice-President of CBC Human Resources, to sit down for separate interviews to discuss their thoughts on the upcoming negotiations for the next Collective Agreement.

I thought it would be interesting to know what the key issues are this time around, how the last C.A. has fared, what issues are still outstanding, and so on.

Update:

CMG replies saying it’s too early to know what the issues are. They’ll have a better sense of it after their committee meets in June.
CBC communications says George Smith isn’t ready to discuss it yet, but will in June.
