Two tentative agreements reached between the
employer and CUPE 687
MONTRÉAL, March 2,
2024 /CNW/ - Representatives of CUPE 687, the union
that represents unionized employees in Montréal, Québec City and
the local stations, and TVA Group announced today that they have
reached a tentative agreement to renew the two collective
agreements.
The agreements were reached following bargaining talks that
began in December 2023 and continued
with the assistance of a conciliator named by the Minister of
Labour. At the bargaining table, the parties agreed on the
parameters of the new collective agreements and on mitigation
measures for employees affected by the announcement made on
November 2, 2023.
Both parties are pleased in the context with the negotiated
agreements that will enable them to meet the major challenges
facing the industry, while maintaining excellent conditions of
employment and ensuring quality journalistic coverage throughout
Québec.
In order to respect the decision-making process, the Union and
TVA Group will make no further comment until the agreements have
been put to a vote at the general assemblies of the two union
units.
