The average journalist at Quebecor free daily is paid 30 000$ while the same guy working for the Journal de Quebec get close up to 60 000$ (80 000$ if you take into account all the benefits). As a side note, one funny thing with the website is that the Journal still have no website of it's own. So, as the union rep said, they are ahead of the Journal!!! ...And there's no way to get even a fraction of the salary they where making with Quebecor (the Journal de Québec journalists are in third position province wide in term's of wages and benefits).
