IN THE LAST YEAR some 3,000 jobs have been cut in media organizations across Canada. About 370 of those lost jobs were held by members of the Canadian Media Guild who worked at the CBC, The Canadian Press, CW Television and S-VOX. We have created this site to mark the departure – due to layoff, voluntary retirement or non-renewal of contract – of these talented and committed people from our workplaces and our union. We will miss you. The media industry will miss you.

DEPUIS UN AN, les organisations médiatiques au Canada ont supprimé quelque
3 000 emplois. Environ 370 membres de la Guilde canadienne des médias travaillant à Radio-Canada, à La Presse Canadienne, à CW Television et à S-VOX sont parmi les employés du secteur qui ont perdu leur emploi. Nous avons créé ce site pour commémorer le départ – à la suite de mises à pied, de retraites volontaires et de non-renouvellement de contrat – de ces personnes talentueuses et engagées de nos lieux de travail et de notre syndicat. Vous nous manquerez tous ... et vous manquerez à l’industrie des médias.
Êtes-vous touché par les compressions? Veuillez soumettre votre profil afin de nous donner une meilleure idée de ce qui est en train d’être perdu dans notre industrie.
