The company refused to consider this. There remains a disparity, however. The Guild has been fighting to raise the pay of these lower-wage jobs by at least 15 percent. Part-time workers still are without benefits. There s no coverage for domestic partners.
Employees pay the entire cost of dental care for family members.
Circulation employees still would see their base pay cut. And while the company continues to make millions in profits, and raises advertising rates by 4 percent or more a year, it wants to freeze the pay and commissions of the very people who are bringing in gross profits for the company. It isn t fair. Community Help Needed Workers at the Guard fear an era is fast coming to an end and that the Register-Guard is slipping to mediocrity. This community deserves better.
