People who are listening to RCI or CBC will have noticed the labour
problems. All the tech and presenter people are locked out while they sort
out. I don't know the full impact on RCI, but I imagine much of it is
simply not on the air, and anything else re-runs. The RCI site doesn't
inform.

Is there actually a labor dispute at RCI? RCI's HQ is in Montreal and
I believe the CBC lockout does not effect the union in Quebec.

Of course, most of the English language programming on RCI comes out
of CBC, Toronto (on lockout) and someone said the SRC (French)
reporters are refusing to cross picket lines to report on Parliament
on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River.
