The Coalition
In an unprecedented coalition, more than a dozen Canadian writers’ organizations are calling on the thousands of writers they represent to not write for any publications owned by Transcontinental Media. This act of protest is directed at the company’s new contract for freelance contributors, which these groups believe to be abusive of writers’ rights.
Together, these organizations represent the largest coalition of Canadian writing groups ever formed for a collective action.
