Thanks from CBC’s unionized workers

We’re writing on behalf of the members of the Iqaluit local of the Canadian Media Guild, which represents the workers who were locked out by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. for eight weeks.

We’re very pleased to be back at work, but we also know that this dispute would not have reached a successful conclusion without the kindness of countless people whose generosity and support helped us during a very difficult time.

Thank you to our listeners and the many people of Nunavut and Nunavik who wrote to their MPs and signed petitions and cards in support of the CBC workers.

And many thanks to those of you who helped out with food, money, moral support, loud honks and encouraging smiles. We’re not able to name you all, due to space constraints in the paper, but your thoughtfulness helped us make it through, and we appreciate all you’ve done for us.

Nakurmiik, Thank you, Merci.
