CBC management and the Canadian Media Guild struck an agreement early Monday morning which is expected to end the lockout of 5,500 staff in the coming days.
With CBC staff and particularly the community of lockout-related Internet blogs on edge last night, the guild announced that the two sides had signed a memorandum of agreement which means that the actual language of the deal has not been finalized.
However, the guild reported that the tentative deal holds management to a cap on the number of fixed-term contract workers it can hire to no more than 9.5 per cent of the number of permanent workers.
Please say it isn’t so.

I'm kind of lucky that I haven't watched them in five years so no missing them for me. Unfortunate that they may be back in time for the election.
It must be nice not to have to be a part or participate in the known universe.
Liberals simply cannot conceive of a universe in which they are not the centre. It is a silly conceit, but there you have it.
Life without them has been unbearable (not). Seriously, did anyone even notice?
Who CBC?
David, the CBC is the short form for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
