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.
Change in commission plan
We have filed a grievance over the change in commission plans in advertising in relation to special sections.
UPDATE: The company has refused to toll this issue. We are looking into our options on this issue. We do understand the company is rolling out new incentives.
UPDATE II: We have finally received an information request with incentive numbers for Guild members. We will be going over these numbers and decide how to proceed. This change has affected different groups in different ways, apparently.
UPDATE III: We have made another information request. The company is asking us relevancy issues on the request. We hope to have the information soon.
The Community Leader
We have 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 we’re sharing management.
UPDATE: We have tolled (legal term that sets aside timelines) this issue while the company decides if it wants to negotiate this matter with our lawyer. We are still waiting for a response.
