The following grievances have been filed with the company. At this point, the company and Guild will meet to try to resolve these issues. If no resolution is agreed to the grievance returns back to our grievance committee where we can vote to send the issue to arbitration.
Holiday scheduling
The Guild is investigating an issue involving scheduling of part-timers on a holiday.
UPDATE: The company has agreed to pay out for the time in question. The grievance committee has dismissed as resolved.
Outsourcing of circulation work
The Guild has filed a grievance on the outsourcing of corporate billing work to outside vendors.
UPDATE: The Guild continues to investigate the company’s claim that it needed to move this work in order to comply with ABC audit standards for coupons. The company has agreed to waive the timelines for filing for arbitration.
The Community Leader
The Guild has filed a grievance based on the recent movement of work and changes made to the Community Leader based primarily on the jurisdiction language in our contract. Some Community Leader work (employees) has been moved inside 390 Congress, some Guild members are now doing Community Leader work, the Community Leader is now being inserted into the Press Herald, and they’re sharing management.
UPDATE: The Guild has tolled (legal term that sets aside timelines) this issue while the company decides if it wants to negotiate this matter with our lawyer. The Guild is awaiting a response.
