March Arbitrations Update

A non-elimination of a position

We have filed a grievance related to a regular part-time position that has been eliminated without a layoff.

UPDATE: Our lawyer has requested an arbitrator be assigned from the Arbitration Association. We are waiting for an arbitrator to be assigned to set a date.

News assistants/clerks

The Guild raised an issue with the company about the work news assistants and clerks were doing and the pay they were receiving for that work. Since then, the company has unilaterally changed the assistants and clerks job descriptions.

UPDATE: We have submitted clips to the company and are awaiting its response.
