August 15 2005 CBC locks all staff out

[DanNospamSay]

in 2005, the CBC locked out 5500 employees across the country, all members of the Canadian Media Guild. Members in the province of Quebec and the Moncton bureau had other collective agreements in force. Most analysts agree that, by the time the employees returned to work on October 11th, with a new agreement, they had won out over the CBC's year and a half of negotiation for more flexibility in the use of contract employees.
