Dozens of workers at Ontario’s public broadcaster walked off the job Monday morning.
"We are deeply saddened to have not been able to reach a fair and reasonable agreement with our employer," wrote the Canadian Media Guild in a press release.
One of the main sticking points is the use of contracts to fill permanent positions, the union previously said. It has also said the wages on offer are well below what’s needed for workers to catch up to inflation. They deserve meaningful increases after seeing their wages capped by the one per cent limit imposed by Bill 124, the union said. Bill 124 was declared unconstitutional last year.
The Ministry of Education has given an order to only create temporary contract jobs at TVO, even for permanent work, the union said, adding that it has been told it won’t get a deal without this concession.
