The general assembly scheduled for next Wednesday, May 22 was canceled. "CBC is still not at the table, just explained Michel Couturier by telephone. We thought he had 72 hours to negotiate before holding a new meeting. "The chairman of the CRC states that members of Moncton, in particular, were not interested in making another round trip in the city if there was anything new on the table: "It cost them dearly come to Montreal."
Meanwhile, Ubald Bernard, vp of the union leader and union bargaining committee, joined last night confirmed that all attempts to communicate with Radio-Canada through the federal mediator Jacques Lessard were unsuccessful. Today, on leave from the Victoria Day, new attempts will be made, "he said.
In a statement issued May 16, Radio-Canada said its last offer was valid until the ultimate Friday, May 24 But when Michel Couturier talk about it, we guess he thinks he is a new bluff. This is not the first time that the CBC can give ultimatums. It happened in March, before the outbreak of the conflict, "he recalls," and yet the committee did not start negotiations from scratch. "
recall that at the meeting of 15 May, in addition to the rejection of management offers by three votes, two terms were ratified. First, the leverage voted on March 16, up to 24 hours of work stoppages, was renewed by 433 votes (95%) against 23 and 4 abstentions. Moreover, freehand, the mandate to address the issue of contractual television and radio in general has been given the negotiating committee. According to Michel Couturier, this is not a new union demand since the original application was permanentiser all contractors with more than two years at Radio-Canada, regardless of their sector of employment.
