The Guild received word today that action is expected soon on six unfair labor practice (ULP) charges it filed with the National Labor Relations Board against the Press-Telegram following the staff slashing in February.
The Guild charges the company with the unilateral elimination of copy and design positions without notification to and bargaining effects with the union; offering deals directly with impacted staffers in its transfer scheme and bypassing the employees' collective bargaining representative (the Guild); failing to give the union the opportunity to bargain the company's intent to eliminate a P-T sports reporter position in connection with it's sports coverage deal with the OCR; bad-faith bargaining when the company finally went to the table to negotiate over the layoffs after the fact; and failure to provide information to which the Guild is legally entitled.
Stay tuned.

I'm going to bet that the union will lose this one. If they do lose, you can bet they won't let us know about the outcome.
If the union was a woman, you'd be the guy hiding in the bushes with a pair of binoculars and prank calling her house.
Obsession is never healthy. You've got to learn to let go...
Yeah, the union WILL lose this one. Go Dean go!
GO DEAN GO!
What was the verdict from this?
Did the guild get shot down or are results still pending?
