Your union needs you, and your experience!
Click here to apply by Monday, January 20, 2020 to serve on a CMG national committee at CBC/Radio-Canada.
Much of the work is done by conference call; sometimes there are in-person meetings, usually in Toronto. Committee members get paid time off from work to attend joint meetings with management, and travel costs for members outside Toronto are covered.
**If you already sit on a CBC committee or the branch executive committee, you will need to reapply**
Please indicate which committee is your preference, and submit a separate application for each committee you would like to join:
Pay Equity Committee: Mandated under the collective agreement to address disparities in pay between men and women. With a new federal commissioner appointed, this committee will be responsible for navigating the CBC through stricter compliance measures and requirements.
