TORONTO — Dozens of workers at Ontario's public broadcaster will return to their jobs Monday after voting this weekend to accept a new collective agreement and end a strike that's stretched on for nearly three months.
TVO says the accepted offer includes a wage increase of 7.7 per cent over three years -- three per cent retroactive to 2022, 2.75 per cent in 2023 and 1.75 per cent in 2024.
Meredith Martin, president of the TVO branch of Canadian Media Guild, the union which represents around 70 journalists, producers and education workers at the broadcaster, would not provide the percentage of its membership that voted for the latest offer but said it passed with a clear majority. The Canadian Media Guild had said its main sticking points in bargaining were below-inflation wages and temporary contract work.
