Fairness for Journalists Working for Quality News
- Target: MediaNews Management at Bay Area News Group-East Bay (BANG-EB)
- Sponsored by: Northern California Media Workers Guild
These workers' efforts to secure fair terms in their first contract can only help promote quality jobs and quality journalism for our communities.
We are alarmed by management's rush to cut jobs. In particular, we are concerned that some of the newsroom's most talented journalists believe they were targeted in the recent layoffs on account of their union activities. We urge the National Labor Relations Board to investigate the facts and ensure that justice is done.
We also urge management of BANG-EB to cease retaliatory dismissals and
other anti-union practices. We demand immediate reinstatement of anyone
laid off because of union activities. If NLRB investigators determine the
Guild's unfair labor practice charge have merit, we call on management to
avoid long appeals and other delay tactics.
It's in everyone's interest for all parties to come to the bargaining table in good faith and negotiate a fair contract quickly. We support the Guild's campaign for quality jobs and quality journalism, and urge ownership to live up to the highest standards of corporate behavior.
We the undersigned support the newsroom employees at the Contra Costa Times, Oakland Tribune and the other newspapers and Web sites of the Bay Area News Group-East Bay. They voted on June 13 in a federally-supervised secret ballot election to form their own unit of The Newspaper Guild. That decision should be respected.
