By the way, the Spectator is doing yeoman's work in covering this story, and it's been on a lot of other stations as well. Here are a few of the CHCH related articles worth a look if you're following this closely: 

How some ex-CHCH staffers could get their jobs back:

Michael Lynk, a Western University labour law professor, said he expects Unifor will file an unfair labour practice complaint with the Canada Industrial Relations Board arguing that the new company is simply a successor to the company that was taken into bankruptcy.If the board ultimately agrees that the new company is a successor employer, Lynk said, "the union stays in place, the collective agreement stays in place — it governs and binds a new employer — and the provisions in the collective agreement with respect to severance pay, with respect to how layoffs are going to be ordered, has to follow through. "So those who were jettisoned, particularly if they were senior employees, may well have the standing, if the union is victorious, to get their jobs back," Lynk said.

I know I will be excited, and envious even, of the things you will all now find, not just to do, but to contribute, to embrace, and through which you will grow. Yes, even at age 50 and 60, and then some.
