usually easy to contact the Head Negotiator CISC Ubald Bernard was impossible to reach today (Tuesday, May 21). Her phone no longer met, the only way to get to the bottom left to go looking for him in town.
First stop, the seat of the CSN, De Lorimier. This is where you would meet members of the negotiating committee on days when there were no stages but and from where, it seems, many of the steps the last few days have been undertaken . The doors are locked. While the watchman is painfully open, Boguslaw Podorski appears in the lobby. It was exactly midnight. He says he is the last out.
Until his taxi on the sidewalk, he apologized at the outset can not give any details whatsoever: "There are things happening right now, interesting things," without saying more.
Is this "things" such as to appeal to Members at the meeting tomorrow? "I do not know," he replies.
Will you tolerate the CBC bother you during the meeting as happened last week? "You never know," he replies. And now the taxi arrives.
Meanwhile, nearby, a vehicle of Radio-Canada takes a stand in the parking lot of the Esso petrol station where Louis works Lemieux. It was Daniel Thomas, night patrolman, who takes a stand listening to his countless radio scanner. Daniel (who hails Alexandre Dumas, in passing: "Tell him I miss him!") Says that the general meeting last Wednesday had a devastating effect inside the great tower just as that Outside: "Everyone is bin discouraged," he said. Since last Thursday, there's even one on the night shift. "
Next stop: the local union's communications de Radio-Canada Ahmerst angle and Rene Levesque. Lights are lit on the first floor, where the local union. But all entries are locked. At the main entrance, a banana peel near the butts in the ashtray. Having watched the windows a few minutes, the building seems deserted.
And if they were already at the Complexe Guy-Favreau in the mediator?
At 0:30, bingo! That's where they hide!
Mario Evangelist (Legal Service of the CSN) is in the lobby of Mediation and Conciliation Service. In the Ombudsman's office are Jacques Lessard François Morin (responsible for mobilizing the CSN), Michel Senecal (responsible for the Mobilization Committee to CISC, the only one since the resignation of Daniel Raunet), Alex Levasseur (member of the stages but and television journalist in Sept-Iles in another life) and Sylvio Cote (union representative and accountable for the mobilization of the Montreal area with the CSN).
François Morin explains his presence by saying that "normally, a protocol for returning to work is still negotiating with people in the mob .
The mediator, who expected to see happen instead of representatives of the employer, does not want to be photographed in this state, that is to say, the status of those who clearly worked very long hours. He fled the camera, but here the cliché proves that federal officials are also 9-5 at night (from 21 to 5 in fact ...).
In addition, the Press Council Chairman, Michael Roy, who has publicly offered to help mediation during a press conference today , was not there. Thank you, Mr. Roy (no relation). Professional caregivers.
Meanwhile the employers' representatives in a room located between the office of Jacques Lessard and local bargaining, counsel for the NSA, Mario Evangelist, puts the finishing touches to a proposed union protocol return to work.
then settles pending.
A discussion with Michel Senecal can not learn more about the content of what is about to be discussed. I ask him
tell me about his day: "If I tell you my day, you'll understand what's happening."
Radio-Canada she asked CSCI to compromise to a final concession? "I can not tell you," says Michel to each specific issue. "I can tell you one thing, for example, it is not for nothing that is here."
After an hour of waiting, the adviser to the negotiation of the CSN, Jean Grenier , arrives with Michel Couturier (Chair CISC) and Pierre Cyr, a member of the stages but. These are the soft shadows that are distinguished behind Michel Senecal. It is 1:27 am and is far from over.
Immediately, Jean Grenier "briefs" Mario Evangelist on the content of what is about to be discussed. I n'attrappe that the last sentence: "On that basis, they should come away in three minutes," he said, referring to representatives of the employers who are still waiting. At about the same time, the phone rings. The mediator Jacques Lessard wins, made some "OK," hung up and said: "They're coming."
And still waiting, I asked Michel Senecal location Ubald Bernard: "Ubald, I think he went to bed. He worked very strong today. "
Pierre Cyr, and committee stages but a production assistant on the show Virginia, gives some details on how the latter's right of negotiation" Since the meeting last Wednesday they were let go. It advised Jacques Lessard from the vote, about 22:30. He put in a standby mode at this time. And the next day he was notified that the CBC wanted to revive. "This led to a blitzkrieg of phone calls. But "the opening was made today," said Pierre Cyr. Today only.
At 1:51, three men running for the doors locked Complexe Guy-Favreau. No security guard being around, I opened them. Michel Hamelin, Director of Organizational Development Network and French television consulting services for Human Resources, appears accompanied by two men who refused to say how they were called.
Mr. Hamelin is friendly, smiling and has no objection to being photographed.
Moments later, the mediator Jacques Lessard and welcomes all these people locked up in the offices of the Department of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Keeping hold its meeting tomorrow, CISC for the first time, perhaps during the conflict, took control of the game and sent the ball into the Company. CISC has somehow told the Radio-Canada: "It still holds this meeting. If you really want this conflict is resolved, make a significant gesture. Improve your job yet and I guarantee they will be accepted this time. "
remains to be seen whether the actions of that night have been significant.
Details will be announced first to the delegates at a union council to be held at 9:30, then to members shortly before the general meeting of 13h.
