from the "solidarity forever" dept.

Part of the new CBC-CMG agreement was a $1000 signing bonus. I was wondering if I might be eligible, but doubted it, as I am not full-time nor even contract with the CBC. I am, however, a CMG member in good standing.

I took a look at the contract today to see, and it didn't look good -- though there was a bit of room for interpretation. One key line said the bonus was to be delivered before midnight tonight.

I checked my account where my CBC pay is directly deposited -- and surprise, surprise: I got the signing bonus. It makes up for the 3 days I was booked for and lost. And other potential losses. Still, totally unexpected.

I immediately rolled the bonus cash onto my Visa.

A good day!

Cheers!
