IJF workers to join the CMG
 
 Workers at the Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF) have filed with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to join the Canadian Media Guild (CMG) as new members. The move took place the first week in September after a more than a dozen staff signed union cards. The bargaining unit will include staff in editorial, development, and tech departments across the country, providing their skills and knowledge to Canada’s media sector.
The Canadian Media Guild is a trade union representing over 6,000 workers at the CBC, Canadian Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, TVO, TFO, Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, ZoomerMedia, CKOI Radio Gatineau (Québec), as well as freelancers. The IJF is an independent, non-profit newsroom “that investigates how money and power intersect in Canada, while building public-interest databases that make those systems transparent, equipping citizens and other journalists to hold the powerful to account.”
