CMG Employees Vote to Accept TVO's Offer, Ending Strike
After voting this weekend, employees represented by the Canadian Media Guild (CMG) at TVO Media Education Group (TVO) have accepted the offer presented by TVO. The accepted offer includes a wage increase of 7.7% over three years, job security for CMG employees, increased access to new job opportunities for production staff, and a commitment from TVO to provide training options for skill development. The agreement also retains language regarding contract employees, preventing contract extensions beyond two years. With the strike coming to an end, TVO can now resume its educational content and current affair journalism. Audiences can expect to see the return of programming throughout November, with some content becoming available in the weeks ahead. TVO's other services, such as TVOkids programming and TVO Original Documentaries, remained unaffected by the strike and will continue uninterrupted.
