How long will the lockout at Le Journal de Montreal last ?
Background: Management at Montreal's most widely read newspaper locked out its editorial and office employees Saturday in a dispute over salary, benefits and media convergence.
Photographers and journalists at the paper make an average salary of $88,000 for a 30-hour week. Editors make an annual average salary of $125,000. Employees are entitled to four to six weeks of annual vacation paid at time-and-a-half.
A 15-month lockout at another Quebecor-owned publication, Le Journal de Quebec, ended last year. Le Journal de Montreal, first published on June 15, 1964, was launched during a strike at another Montreal daily.
