Globe and Mail reporters and sales staff voted 97 percent in favor of striking if their union fails to negotiate a new labor pact with the owners of Canada’s largest national newspaper.
A total 302 of the 311 reporters, sales and circulation staff who voted today approved going on strike, said the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada Local 87-M that repreents the employees.
Management at the Toronto-based newspaper, owned by CTVglobemedia Inc., has been in negotiations with the CEP for an agreement to replace a four-year contract that expires June 30.
The newspaper’s proposal would cut the wages of almost 30 percent of its members and reduce pension benefits for all by 30 percent to 50 percent, depending on years of service, the union said in a statement.
