February 14, 2008: Canadian Media Guild calls out CanWest on contracts
The Canadian Media Guild, a creator union representing workers at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation among other places, has sent an open letter to The Ottawa Citizen, complaining about a new freelance contract the paper has reportedly adopted. The Citizen is a CanWest paper.
CMG's letter states:
"this contract seeks to give the Citizen and CanWest
all of the rights of an employer, while denying these writers any of the corresponding rights as an employee."
See the full release at the following link:
Open Letter to the Ottawa Citizen
PWAC recently published a similar call for fairness in contracts, specifically focused on another CanWest paper, the Vancouver Sun. See the PWAC release here:
