Welcome new members working on OMNI’s Punjabi National News and CITY News Programs
These jobs are, in part, a result of Unifor’s advocacy for improved local programming at the CRTC and with Members of Parliament.
Check out the web site for more info on our continuing efforts:
Contracting Out National Chinese National News
We are disappointed in Rogers decision to contract out Chinese language national news to a competitor, Fairchild Television. We feel Rogers has betrayed Unifor’s support during their 9-1-H license application.
OMNI’s Cantonese and Mandarin national news programming should be produced in-house by our members.
We are coordinating efforts to oppose Rogers short sighted decision in the strongest possible way with our brothers & sisters in Toronto as well as with multi cultural community groups.
Left unchallenged, “contracting out to the cheapest provider” will negatively impact local television news production across Canada.
