TORONTO – Unifor says Bell Media has laid off 20 of its members.
The union says the layoffs included 11 journalists across Toronto, North Bay, Ont., Halifax and Calgary.
Unifor says traffic co-ordinators, schedulers and promotional co-ordinators were also affected.
Bell Media did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Lana Payne, national president at Unifor, says expanding journalist tax credits to include broadcasters could have prevented the job losses.
In November of last year, BCE Inc. moved to eliminate 650 manager positions at Bell, along with around 40 jobs at Bell Media.
