Morning Call Press Workers Have New Contract
No raises. Same pay for 40 hours that they used to get for a 37.5 hour work week. Short term benefits slashed 25%. On the bright side, they have a job.

. . . for how long? Whatever your opinion of the Mcall, I hope the workers there are able to hang on to their jobs. It's no secret that the newspaper business is on the wane. Mid-size cities are finding that only 1 paper is viable.
Where will these press workers find new jobs if this paper closes? ABC this past week announced it is eliminating skilled newsroom jobs and soon reporters will be expected to be their own cameramen and editors.
Here in the Valley, a major union is fighting for job protection, but their employer according to news reporters threatens to pull out altogether. What will these union people do if that happens?
And yet, the bigshots are getting bonuses.
The pendulum swings so far in each direction over time. Unions righted so many wrongs, then got greedy and apathetic, losing their appeal to the general workforce.
Now, they are unarmed, unable and unwilling to stop the rape.
The content of the liberal mouthpiece Morning Call stinks.
Nobody wants to read their garbage.
How long can a company selling out and out crap stay afloat?
Don't worry. The Obama Administration will bail failing newspapers out.
Can't let good propaganda outlets go to waste, now, can we?
What goes around comes around
