Members of the Fort Worth Newsguild at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram returned to work Dec. 22, 24 days after going on strike citing the company’s unwillingness to “negotiate in good faith.”
More than 1,000 New York Times journalists and other staff walked off the job Thursday for 24 hours, frustrated by contract negotiations that have dragged on for months in the newspaper s biggest labor dispute in more than 40 years.
Members of the Fort Worth NewsGuild have been striking for nearly two weeks against the paper’s parent company, McClatchy, for alleged unfair labor practices and demands for a fair contract. On the first day of striking, McClatchy revoked the healthcare benefits of staff members and posted job applications to fill their positions.
