Plusieurs syndicats de travailleurs des m\u00e9dias de partout au Canada se sont r\u00e9unis lors d\u2019un r\u00e9cent congr\u00e8s du Congr\u00e8s du travail du Canada (CTC). Il s\u2019agissait d\u2019un moment historique et d\u2019une v\u00e9ritable d\u00e9monstration de solidarit\u00e9. Ils ont mis de l\u2019avant une s\u00e9rie de motions pour sauvegarder les t\u00e9l\u00e9journaux locaux, pour assurer la protection des m\u00e9dias canadiens contre des prises de possession par des int\u00e9r\u00eats \u00e9trangers, pour soutenir la production canadienne du cin\u00e9ma et de la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision et pour s\u2019opposer \u00e0 la loi qui donnerait un pouvoir de censure au ministre f\u00e9d\u00e9ral du Patrimoine.<\/p>\n
\u00c0 une conf\u00e9rence des m\u00e9dias organis\u00e9e conjointement par les Travailleurs en communication d\u2019Am\u00e9rique (le syndicat auquel la GCM est affili\u00e9e), le Syndicat canadien des communications, de l\u2019\u00e9nergie et du papier, l\u2019ACTRA et le Conseil provincial du secteur des communications du Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique, les syndicats ont mis en relief les menaces qui ont fait surface au Canada au cours des 15 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Nous assistons \u00e0 un durcissement sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent dans les m\u00e9dias \u00bb, a accus\u00e9 Arnold Amber du chapitre canadien des Travailleurs en communication d\u2019Am\u00e9rique en faisant allusion aux compressions de personnel dans presque tous les journaux locaux du pays et au lockout de 13 mois au quotidien Le Journal de Qu\u00e9bec, propri\u00e9t\u00e9 de Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cor. M. Amber a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu sans opposition au poste de vice-pr\u00e9sident des petits syndicats lors du congr\u00e8s du CTC. <\/p>\n
\u00ab Les m\u00e9dias traditionnels sont toujours les seuls m\u00e9dias qui paient les gens pour faire le travail \u00bb, de cueillette de l\u2019information et de rapporter la nouvelle, a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 Peter Murdoch du SCEP.<\/p>\n
Michel Bibeault du SCFP a qualifi\u00e9 les compressions dans le secteur de l\u2019information au Qu\u00e9bec \u00ab d\u2019atteinte \u00e0 la d\u00e9mocratie \u00bb. Le r\u00e9seau priv\u00e9 TQS a annonc\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment la fermeture de toutes ses salles de nouvelles et la mise \u00e0 pied d\u2019environ 270 employ\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Je suis estomaqu\u00e9 par la montagne que nous avons \u00e0 escalader \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l\u2019acteur R.H. Thompson qui agissait \u00e0 titre d\u2019animateur de la conf\u00e9rence au nom d\u2019ACTRA.<\/p>\n
Les motions, qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9es, avaient re\u00e7u la plus haute priorit\u00e9 des 2 000 d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s pendant l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi du premier jour du congr\u00e8s. Elles d\u00e9non\u00e7aient la convergence des m\u00e9dias et des salles de r\u00e9daction et elles exigeaient que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral force le CRTC \u00e0 rendre obligatoire les bulletins de nouvelles t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9s en vue de l\u2019obtention d\u2019une licence.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Pourquoi se pr\u00e9occuper de ces questions?, a demand\u00e9 aux d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s la pr\u00e9sidente de la GCM, Lise Lareau, en appui aux motions en question. \u00ab Parce que ces salles de nouvelles racontent vos histoires, des histoires de syndicalisme et des histoires de votre collectivit\u00e9 et parce que ces emplois sont de bons emplois dans vos collectivit\u00e9s. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Ces syndicats font partie d\u2019un caucus de m\u00e9dias form\u00e9 par le CTC en 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
