Fort Worth Star-Telegram journalists went on strike after alleging the newspaper's parent company McClatchy is not bargaining a contract in good faith. In response, McClatchy cut their health care benefits and listed their jobs. Via FortWorthReport:
The newspaper’s executive editor, Steve Coffman, said in an emailed statement that the newspaper is serving communities in North Texas and Tarrant County.In emails sent to Star-Telegram staff and obtained by the Fort Worth Report, Coffman wrote that the company is recruiting journalists to provide full coverage of local news. It’s not clear whether those positions will be permanent or temporary. Those jobs will be posted Tuesday, he wrote.
“An employee in an inactive status will no longer be eligible to participate in the healthcare plan effective at the end of the calendar month in which the unpaid leave begins,” Klyse wrote. “For example, an employee who begins unpaid leave Nov. 28, 2022, will see their healthcare insurance lapse at the end of the day on Nov. 30, 2022.”
“The Fort Worth NewsGuild is dedicated to fair conditions for Star-Telegram employees. No amount of union busting will change that,” Johnson said. “McClatchy can take away our benefits, but not our fight. McClatchy can post our jobs and try to replace local coverage, but our community knows better – they deserve a dedicated local staff. We are not backing down and expect McClatchy will meet us at the table this week.
