Sean Fitzpatrick, a lawyer who represents the Canadian branch of the CWA, confirmed the union agreed to alter contracts for the editorial staff it represents

A national union that represents workers at Atlantic Canada’s largest newspaper chain says conditions demanded by Postmedia in its bid to buy the SaltWire Network are not as bad as some observers had feared.

But Fitzpatrick says those changes were minor alterations, which included changing the name of the employer from SaltWire to Postmedia. Successor rights, as spelled out in provincial legislation, ensure than when a company’s ownership changes, the collective bargaining rights of unionized employees remain protected.
