I thought I should introduce myself … the new President in this space. My name is Carmel Smyth and I was elected national president of the Canadian Media Guild last December. I was a long-time reporter in various cities across the country and am now a television producer at CBC in Toronto. For the next three years, my day job will be leading the union through these interesting times.
I’m a little late getting started on this blog because I spent the first six weeks of the year at Harvard’s trade union program. It was an eye-opener, depressing and inspiring at the same time. More on that in later posts.
I’d love to hear from you … your thoughts, ideas and questions about this turbulent industry, about how the union is working for you, and any topics you might have. Feel free to leave a comment, anonymous or not.
