Delaware County Times contract ratified
Guild members,
This evening your co-workers voted 47-15 to ratify an initial contract
with 21st CMH, the new owners of the bankrupt Journal Register Company.
Highlights of the 2 year contract after the sale closes in April
include,
No reduction of pay over the 2 year term.
No involuntary layoffs for the first year, except for up to one full
time position. A 3 percent contribution into a 401k plan by the
employer.
All employees rehired.
All employees severance and seniority honored by the new employer.
All benefits remain the same, except a change to the sick time policy.
I’d like to thank International Secretary Treasurer Carol Rothman for
attending tonight’s important vote, and supporting our unit leaders
support of this initial contract.
In Unity,
Bill Ross
