Support (Allentown,PA)Morning Call workers!

On Friday, May 13, unionized journalists at the Morning Call in Allentown, PA will refuse to work for one day to tell Tribune Publishing and Alden Global Capital that it is time for them to stop devaluing their work. Reporters, editors and photographers at The Morning Call are expected to pay more each year out of their own pockets to do their jobs serving the Lehigh Valley. As journalists continue to be paid deplorably low and in many cases, discriminatory wages, the paper's management also has asserted production requirements without bargaining and the guild filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge. The money collected will be used to cover any loss of salary that union members incur by participating in this walkout. Any additonal money will be donated to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. DISCLAIMER: This action is being conducted by an individual worker to assist collegues and is NOT being undertaken by or under the auspices of the NewsGuild-CWA. The union is not collecting or administering funds and has no connection to this fundraiser.
