Maritime Broadcasting radio employees holding a rally in Kings Square. Seven members from three MBS local stations are continuing their strike after the companies latest offering of $12.98 for maximum wage. Karen Wirsig of the Canadian Media Guild tells CHSJ news the picketers want between $12 to $17.21 an hour.
“We would be eager to get back to the table if Robert Pace (President of MBS) is prepared to negotiate a fair deal, we don’t want this to drag out.”
Wirsig says one MBS advertiser has pulled it’s ads on their stations in support of the picketers. Meanwhile MBS has been using replacement workers to cover strikers jobs.
