Talks continue between CBC and Canadian Media Guild

Last Friday, CBC/Radio-Canada and CMG completed a second full week of meetings designed to improve the relationship between the parties.

The meetings, which included facilitator Warren Edmondson, were initiated by executives of the CMG and the CBC/Radio-Canada and were the product of several joint discussions held between February and May.

During these two full weeks, the parties tackled number of hot topics including Temporary Employment and Contract Employment. Several grievances have been resolved and they’ll set a precedent to future temporary employment situations. CBC says more details are coming in a few weeks.

More meeting dates are scheduled in the Fall.
