<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />As a union, the Guild’s chief mission is to try to improve the working conditions of our members, which in today’s world means we’re fighting to keep journalists in the middle class. But we also consider ourselves protectors of the craft of journalism. And for that reason, I want to thank the committee for holding these hearings.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />We’re very concerned by what we’ve seen at El Diario over the past few years. In the past two years, the size of the paper’s newsroom has shrunk from 25 to 11. Where only a few years ago the paper was filled with local stories that the larger mainstream press wasn’t covering, today it’s just a shadow of its former self. The paper that calls itself the Champion of the Hispanics is today filled mostly with stories that have been aggregated from wire services and other people’s reporting. The same goes for the El Diario website. Last summer, one of our members who left El Diario told us, “I did not become a reporter to cut and paste from other websites.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />We understand that El Diario and other news organizations are privately owned enterprises that need to turn a profit. But, while it’s not written into their charters, they also assume the roles of public trusts. The foreign language press is a pipeline to the city’s immigrant communities. They bring to their readers news that often can’t be found elsewhere and that speaks to them in the language they are most comfortable with. Since an informed citizenry is essential to a free society, the press provides a public service. It is therefore morally incumbent on the owners of these vital enterprises to do all that they can to continue to inform their readers, and it is equally incumbent on government to do all it can to support these enterprises.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />It must be said that the Guild’s relationship with El Diario has been among the most contentious of our 20 employers in the four years since its parent company, ImpreMedia, was bought by La Nacion of Argentina. The elimination of 13 of our members’ jobs that was announced two weeks ago and which cut newsroom staffing in half has spawned yet another dispute between us that the National Labor Relations Board is now investigating.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />And yet, I tried to find some reason for hope in the El Diario statement earlier this week in which management insisted it wasn’t setting a death date for its print publication, said it intended to remain the voice of the Latino community in New York and pledged to try to find what it called a “value proposition” to keep the paper alive.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />The sobering reality, however, is that the latest statement needs to be viewed in the context of La Nacion’s stewardship of its American properties since 2012. What we’ve seen is that the journalistic resources of its papers in other American cities have been depleted. And our members have told us that management has sharply reduced the number of distribution points for El Diario, making it harder and harder for readers to find the print publication.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />In short, we see a business strategy that appears to be what we call “Clear Channeling,” in which all of ImpreMedia’s American outlets are supplied with similar generic content and left with few, if any, resources for original local reporting.<br />We’re not oblivious to the financial upheaval in the newspaper business. We know that the availability of free content on the Internet is cutting newspaper circulation and forcing owners to seek a still elusive business model to replace the advertising revenue that has supported the industry since the late 1800s.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />Notwithstanding these challenges, there are successes. Some hyper-local and other niche publications are still thriving, mostly because they have invested in good journalism. Experience has shown that readers will pay for news that is valuable to them and that can’t be found anywhere else. Cutting back on journalistic resources, a mistake that so many newspapers have made, isn’t just bad public policy, it’s bad business.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />In New York’s Chinese community, which is less than one-fourth the size of the city’s Spanish-speaking population of two million, there are four Chinese language newspapers in robust competition with one another. One of them, the Sing Tao Daily, recently became the first foreign language newspaper to win an award from the New York City chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for best reporting by a newspaper with circulation of less than 100,000.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />So, even in today’s challenging business climate, it’s still possible for newspapers to succeed.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />It starts with the will to do so. It requires an investment in good journalism. And it’s driven by a dedication to informing readers and providing them with the information they need to be good citizens. If the current owners of El Diario cannot summon the will, the dedication and the level of investment to devote to this 102-year-old institution of the city’s Hispanic communities, we hope they will step aside and make room for someone who can.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />I thank the committee for inviting me and I’d be happy to answer your questions.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NEW YORK – The NewsGuild of New York announced on Wednesday a groundbreaking new six-year contract with

“Kudos to The Nation for taking such a progressive stance and working
with us to trail blaze a path for other media organizations to follow.
Journalists are parents too, and it’s important that they have the
opportunity to be with family during this joyous
period, without worrying about repercussions from their employer,”

negotiating committee is very proud to have achieved a contract that
not only protects our wages and healthcare, but also takes a major step
forward in providing fully paid parental leave. Parental leave is
a critical benefit for both women and men at our growing company, and
will be offered on a gender-neutral basis,” said
<b>Emily Douglas, Senior Editor at The Nation</b>. “Even better, the
leave can be taken all at once, or in stages, throughout the first year
after birth or adoption of a child. We are delighted that management
shared our concern for new parents at The Nation,
and with the agreement we reached.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During his long career at the station, Ralph was involved in many
WPIX technical firsts, from the launch of the TV PIX video game

Digital News Helicopter.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Many of his efforts continue to benefit WPIX-TV today, including the
station’s Citigroup Building and North Shore microwave receives sites.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Although
Ralph left WPIX in 2005 to accept a Director of Engineering position at
the UN, he always considered himself always and forever a “PIX Lifer”. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ralph Augenfeld, of Brooklyn, is survived by his daughter Britt and son Zach.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Average CEO compensation was $15.2 million in 2013, using a
comprehensive measure of CEO pay that covers CEOs of the top 350 U.S.
firms and includes the value of stock options exercised in a given year,
up 2.8 percent since 2012 and 21.7 percent since 2010.</span></span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From 1978 to 2013, CEO compensation, inflation-adjusted, increased
937 percent, a rise more than double stock market growth and
substantially greater than the painfully slow 10.2 percent growth in a
typical worker’s compensation over the same period.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 20-to-1 in 1965 and
29.9-to-1 in 1978, grew to 122.6-to-1 in 1995, peaked at 383.4-to-1 in
2000, and was 295.9-to-1 in 2013, far higher than it was in the 1960s,
1970s, 1980s, or 1990s.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If Facebook, which we exclude from our data due to its outlier high
compensation numbers, were included in the sample, average CEO pay was
$24.8 million in 2013, and the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was
510.7-to-1.</span></span></li>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Final Rule: Representation-Case Procedures</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) Final Rule governing
representation-case procedures is designed to remove unnecessary
barriers to the fair and expeditious resolution of representation
questions. The Final Rule will streamline Board procedures, increase
transparency and uniformity across regions, eliminate or reduce
unnecessary litigation, duplication and delay, and update the Board’s
rules on documents and communications in light of modern communications
technology. The amendments provide targeted solutions to discrete,
specifically identified problems to enable the Board to better fulfill
its duty to protect employees’ rights by fairly, accurately and
expeditiously resolving questions of representation. </span></span><br />
</div>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Background on Representation-Case Procedures </b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Representation petitions are filed by employees, unions and employers
seeking to have the NLRB conduct an election to determine if employees
wish to be represented for purposes of collective bargaining with their
employer. The Board will investigate these petitions to determine if an
election should be conducted and will direct an election, if
appropriate. </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In most instances, parties agree on the voting unit and other
issues. If parties do not agree, the NLRB’s regional office holds a
pre-election hearing to determine whether an election should be
conducted. The NLRB’s regional office conducts the election and, if
necessary, holds a post-election hearing to resolve challenges to
voters’ eligibility and objections to the conduct of the election or
conduct affecting the results of the election. Parties can seek Board
review of regional determinations made before and after the election. </span></span><br />
</div>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Modernizing Board Procedures</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><i>Electronic Filing/Communications </i></b>– Parties
may file documents, such as petitions, electronically, rather than by
fax or mail. Parties and the NLRB’s regional offices can transmit
documents electronically, rather than using slower or more expensive
forms of communications, such as mail or express delivery services. </span></span></div>

Law360, New York (December 11, 2014, 11:43 AM ET) --
A divided <a href="http://www.law360.com/agencies/national-labor-relations-board">National Labor Relations Board</a>
held Thursday that workers have a right to use their employers' email
systems for non-business purposes, including communicating about union
organizing, overruling the labor board's 2007 Register Guard ruling and
calling it "clearly incorrect." </span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ruling in a closely watched case challenging an electronic communication
policy maintained by sign language interpretation services provider
Purple Communications Inc., NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce, along with board
members Kent Hirozawa and Nancy Schiffer, overruled the Register Guard's
holding that employees had no statutory right to use employer email for
activities covered by section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Consistent with the purposes and policies of the act and our obligation
to accommodate the competing rights of employers and employees, we
decide today that employee use of email for statutorily protected
communications on nonworking time must presumptively be permitted by
employers who have chosen to give employees access to their email
systems," Thursday's decision said.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The majority called its decision “carefully limited,” noting that it
applied only to workers who have already been granted access to their
employer's email system, and that businesses may justify a complete ban
on non-work use of email if it can point to special circumstances that
make such a prohibition necessary.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Register Guard ruling — also a divided decision — gave short shrift
to employees' right to communicate in the workplace about the terms and
conditions of their employment and put too much weight on employer
property rights, the NLRB said Thursday.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The majority in Register Guard also “inexplicably failed to perceive”
email's importance as a way to for employees to engage in labor
law-protected communications, the majority in Purple Communications
said, adding that that importance had increased dramatically during the 7
years since Register Guard was issued.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thursday's decision stopped short of finding Purple Communications'
policy unlawful, remanding the question of whether the company violated
the NLRA by maintaining that policy back to the administrative law judge
who <b><a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/483878/nlrb-judge-won-t-nix-precedent-on-use-of-employer-email-">previously</a></b> found it to be lawful.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />NEW YORK, Nov. 25 – A Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board has found merit in a sweeping charge the Newspaper Guild of New York filed in June against ImpreMedia, the parent of El Diario La Prensa, after the company fired several veteran employees. The charge included a claim that four Guild-represented employees were fired for union activity. The firings of veteran journalists were part of a series of union-busting activities that have jeopardized the future of El Diario La Prensa, the nation’s largest and oldest Spanish-language daily paper.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The NLRB told the Guild and the company that it has authorized a complaint, similar to an indictment, on nearly all parts of the charge. It affirms the Guild’s claim that the company engaged in illegal union-busting activities, including hiring non-union employees to take the place of unlawfully fired Guild members and ignoring the Guild contract. Impremedia has until mid-December to reach a settlement with the Guild. If there is no settlement, the NLRB will seek an administrative trial date in early 2015 to pursue the charges.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">NLRB found merit in the following charges:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> ImpreMedia illegally discharged Guild-represented employees, including veteran journalists. Four of those fired were targeted for union activity.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> ImpreMedia violated the union contract concerning layoff procedure and payment of severance.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> ImpreMedia unilaterally altered the Guild’s jurisdiction and refused new union representation.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />In light of these charges, the Regional Director is also considering whether ImpreMedia defaulted on an earlier settlement in which the company committed not to threaten employees with discharge for supporting the union.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />“The NLRB’s findings are a significant victory for the employees who were illegally fired for their involvement with the Guild. It is also a clear indication that the paper is trying to undermine high-quality journalism. We will work to reach a settlement and seek an immediate reinstatement of the journalists,” said Guild President Bill O’Meara.<br /> </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“We are proud of this victory for Spanish-speaking New Yorkers who value quality journalism and rely on El Diario to shed light on the issues facing our communities. We hope ImpreMedia will reach a settlement with the Guild and we will continue to fight until our colleagues have been reinstated,” said Oscar Hernandez, the Guild’s El Diario Unit Chair.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />On June 13, ImpreMedia illegally fired seven Guild-represented El Diario employees. The firings, which violated the paper’s contract with the Guild, were just one of a series of steps the company took to replace veteran journalists with decades of experience serving the Hispanic communities of New York. At the same time, the company hired several nonunion journalists to replace those who were let go, and threatened current employees who speak up. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Guild also asked the NLRB to seek a court order to restore the fired workers while the dispute is being litigated. The NLRB said that request is under consideration. El Diario reporters and the Guild are fighting to save the jobs of their fired colleagues and to preserve high-quality journalism at El Diario.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />The Newspaper Guild of New York, Local 31003 of the Communications Workers of America, represents 2800 journalists and other employees at New York area-based news organizations and other companies, including The New York Times, Thomson Reuters and Time Inc.<br />####</span></span></span></div>

York-- El Diario employees, the Newspaper Guild of New York officials and
supporters from the NYC Central Labor Council, Labor Council for Latin American
Advancement, the Newspaper Deliverers Union, the NYS AFL-CIO, the South Bronx
Community Congress and community members gathered today on the steps of City
Hall to demand an end to the illegal firings and threats against
union-represented workers at the media company, and called for the
reinstatement of eight illegally fired workers.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Following
the press conference, the illegally fired employees and their Guild
representatives had several positive and productive meetings with elected
officials who expressed their support and pledged to do more on this issue. The
Guild has scheduled several follow up meetings with local and state elected
officials to discuss the ongoing labor violations at El Diario.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“ImpreMedia,
as many commentators have noted, appears to have made a business decision to
abandon its longtime core readers in New York. The decision to fire veteran
journalists who covered the courts, the police and the city’s Hispanic
communities is consistent with that business decision. Union employees are
without jobs, the Guild is under attack and readers are getting shortchanged.
This management is shafting everyone,” <b>said Guild Secretary-Treasurer Peter
Szekely.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We
will not sit back and stay quiet while ImpreMedia tries to get rid of the
veteran journalists who know our neighborhoods and the issues facing our
communities,” <b>said Oscar Hernandez, the Guild’s El Diario Unit Chair.</b>
“Spanish-speaking New Yorkers deserve better and that is why we are fighting to
bring back our newsroom colleagues.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On
June 13, ImpreMedia illegally fired eight El Diario employees, claiming they
were economic layoffs. The firings, which violate the company’s contract with
the Guild, were the latest in a series of anti-union actions by management to
replace the veteran journalists who have long covered the Hispanic communities
of New York. The company has since hired several nonunion employees and
continues to threaten current workers who speak up. The Guild is seeking a court
order to require ImpreMedia to reinstate the eight employees while the dispute
is being litigated. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In formal comments filed this
week, the Communications Workers of America, including NABET-CWA and the
Newspaper Guild-CWA, called on the Federal Communications
Commission to immediately direct broadcasters to disclose all radio and
television shared service agreements (SSAs) and to rule that all
sharing agreements create attributable ownership interests that must be
counted in evaluating compliance with the FCC’s local broadcast
ownership limits. CWA filed its comments in the Quadrennial
Regulatory Review of the Commission’s Broadcast Ownership Rules.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“The Commission should
immediately direct broadcasters to disclose all radio and television
sharing agreements, by whatever name. Disclosure is long overdue,”
CWA said. That means that any kind of joint agreement, whether
classified as a shared services agreement or other agreement, must be
reported and monitored, CWA said.</span></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1407510030754_40514" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1407510030754_40514" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Even without comprehensive
data, it is clear that SSAs are pervasive and damaging to the
Commission’s goals to promote localism, diversity, competition, and
to prevent undue concentration of economic power in the media. Shared
service agreements allow one TV station to provide station-related
services – including programming services – to one or more other TV
stations.</span></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1407510030754_40514" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“These mechanisms are used to
evade the Commission’s local television ownership rules and
newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership rules,” CWA said.</span></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1407510030754_40525">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1407510030754_40525" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These shared service agreements
destroy good jobs and affect diversity in programming. “In many cases
SSAs involve the complete shutdown of news on one station. In other
cases, the same staff produced two highly similar newscasts,” CWA said.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is taking place in city after city. CWA’s comments provided many examples, including the following:

Raycom established a “virtual triopoloy,” with KSMB anchor Lou Raguse
telling his viewers: “Raycom will produce this newscast on Fox

Broadcasting (now Nexstar) took over operations of Granite
Broadcasting’s WTVH, creating a triopoly. As a result of the new
shared services agreement, 40 workers at WTVH lost their jobs,
including the entire news staff of on-air reporters, anchors,
newswriters, producers, news photographers, editors and
broadcast technicians. WTVH’s former studios were put up for sale.</span></span></li>

Media, which already owned and operated two stations, has swapped
call-signs and network affiliations in its takeover of a third
station, KFVE. (Raycom’s alter ego, American Spirit, has applied to
purchase KFVE outright.) Raycom now produced substantially identical
newscasts for all three stations. Nearly 70 employees between the
three stations have lost their jobs.</span></span></li>

Broadcasting, which owns WSEE, took over operations of WICU, nominally
licensed to SJL Broadcasting. In 2009, it merged all WSEE
operations into WICU, eliminating all 35 off-air WSEE employees. Because
the combined facilities lacked the capacity to simulcast, for at least
four years, news programming on WSEE was prerecorded. This loss
of immediacy created serious losses for viewers. For example, the 6 am
newscast was pre-taped at 4 am, meaning that viewers could not
hear current weather conditions.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">CWA also reiterated its support
for the Commission’s longstanding rules as the best way to achieve its
policy goals and called on the FCC to maintain the current rules
governing local television ownership, local radio ownership, the
newspaper/broadcast cross ownership ban, and dual network provisions.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Protesters gathered today in front of the St. Regis Hotel in New York City to call on Ralph Lauren to sign onto the <a href="http://www.bangladeshaccord.org/" target="_self">Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh</a>
to improve workplace safety for garment workers. The protest preceded
Ralph Lauren’s annual shareholders meeting where the AFL-CIO Reserve
Fund (its investments) had a proposal on the ballot related to human
rights reporting.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At today’s shareholder meeting, <a href="http://apwld.org/apfeministforum/speaker-profiles/nazma-akter/" target="_self">Nazma Akter</a>,
president of the Sommilito Garments Sramik Federation, representing
70,000 workers, spoke to the protesters and called on Ralph Lauren join
with more than <a href="http://www.bangladeshaccord.org/2014/06/bangladesh-accord-commitment-transparency/" target="_self">180 brands that have agreed to participate in the Accord.</a> The
Accord is a binding and enforceable agreement that represents a new
model in supply chain accountability and risk management. Other programs
to audit and monitor for workers' safety follow the same model that has
failed the hundreds of workers who have died in preventable garment
factory fires and building collapses over the past 20 years.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Akter
spoke in the name of “women like me, who produce goods for Ralph Lauren
in Bangladesh.” Young women are 80% of the garment workforce in
Bangladesh. Most of the more than 3,600 workers killed and seriously
injured in the April 2013 Rana Plaza factory collapse were young women.
Hundreds of children were orphaned when their parents were killed in the
collapse. But Rana is only the most notorious of recent deadly
workplace disasters in factories along the global supply chains of major
U.S. and European brands and retailers. </span></span><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rana Plaza reminded many of the Triangle factory fire in New York
more than 100 years ago that killed more than 100 workers yet eventually
led to improved workplace safety laws and enforcement and innovative
collective bargaining agreements. The changes after the Triangle factory
fire helped make what was once sweatshop labor into good jobs and a way
into the middle class.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Following the protest, <a href="http://apwld.org/apfeministforum/speaker-profiles/nazma-akter/" target="_self">Akter</a> participated
in the Ralph Lauren shareholders meeting where she presented the
AFL-CIO Reserve Fund’s shareholder proposal, urging the company to
report to stockholders about how it assesses human rights risks. The
AFL-CIO Reserve Fund submitted the proposal after the company failed to
acknowledge or respond to written requests to sign onto the <a href="http://www.bangladeshaccord.org/" target="_self">Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh</a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ralph Lauren has bought thousands of tons of goods from at least 15 locations in Bangladesh since 2007.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At
the shareholders meeting, Akter asked: “So why has a company that has
always stood for the highest quality not joined the accord?” She also
pointed out that workers in factories that have signed the accord are in
a better position to exercise other workers’ rights. “There are over
4,000 garment factories in Bangladesh. So far, 1,600 are covered by the
accord and workers in these are better protected. Workers have a union
at only 160 of those thousands of factories. Workers at factories
covered by the Accord and those who have a union could have refused to
enter Rana Plaza when they saw cracks. Workers must have Freedom of
Association to protect themselves and claim their full human rights.” </span></span></div>

Plaza should help major corporations realize that the current model of
cheap goods at any price through vast and unaccountable global supply

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Less than two weeks after it debuted a <a href="http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20140603/TECHNOLOGY/140609972/new-look-for-citys-oldest-spanish-language-daily">colorful redesign</a> aimed at boosting circulation and attracting more advertising, <em>El Diario La Prensa</em>
has laid off 20 employees, eight of them Newspaper Guild members. The
move has sparked charges that the newspaper has violated its contract
with the union.</span></span></h2>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">According to a New York Newspaper Guild representative, <em>El Diario</em> is required
to give union employees and the Guild itself two weeks notice before
involuntary layoffs can begin. The layoffs, which were made Friday
afternoon, came without any prior notification, the representative said.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"I'm the chairperson up there and I had no notice at all,"</i> said Oscar
Hernandez, an account executive in the advertising department who heads
the Guild unit at the 101-year-old paper. He added that employees were
told by executives from ImpreMedia, the paper's owner, that they needed
to be terminated because of cash flow problems.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An <em>El Diario</em> spokeswoman declined to comment. But earlier
Monday the paper, which is the largest Spanish language daily in New
York and the oldest in the country, <a href="http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2014/06/8547230/emel-diarioem-lays-12%20" target="_blank">told Capital New York</a>
that the official date for the layoffs was June 27—two weeks from last
Friday—meaning it had acted in compliance with the contract.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mr. Hernandez said the Guild still needed to be told, and that the
two week notification was just one of the rules with which the paper
needed to be in compliance.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"There's a whole laundry list of things they have to do before they
can do an involuntary layoff like this," </i>he said, including seeing if
there were any volunteers. <i>"We believe this is retaliation against the
people who are involved with union activity."</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In May, the Guild <a href="http://www.nyguild.org/el-diario-news-details/items/nlrb-forces-el-diario-to-retract-anti-union-statements.html" target="_blank">worked out a settlement with ImpreMedia</a>
after filing an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor
Relations Board over anti-union remarks by Content Director Juan Varela.
<em>El Diario</em> was required to post an official notice saying it would honor the Guild contract.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The layoffs also come amidst charges by veterans that management is
weakening the paper's relationship with its readership by looking to
expand beyond its traditional Puerto Rican and Dominican audience and
target more upscale readers. The new strategy, which informed the
redesign, is the brainchild of executives installed after Argentine
newspaper <em>La Nacion</em> bought a majority stake in ImpreMedia in 2012.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"Back in November, the company said they wanted to get a different
audience, that we were a 'ghetto newspaper," </i>Mr. Hernandez said.<em> "They
were looking for a more educated reader, even though [our current
readers] have been the bread and butter of El Diario for 101 years."</em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fewer of those readers are buying the paper, however. Although online
readership has doubled in the past year to more than 1 million unique
visitors, the print edition—which generates 90% of revenue—has suffered.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In an interview earlier this month, Hernando Ruiz-Jimenez, executive vice president at impreMedia and general manager of <em>El Diario</em>,
said that he could not say whether the paper was profitable because of
how costs were allocated across the parent company. But the paper's
average weekday circulation fell 13% to 31,000 copies in the six months
ending in March, compared to the prior-year period, according to the
Alliance for Audited Media.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shalev, who joined Channel 11 in September, wrote an email last week to his morning group. In the email, which was obtained by Tuned In, Shalev sought story ideas from staffers for the February sweeps period. However, Shalev made it clear that everyone must participate or face consequences at their next review.</span></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://tunedinnyc.com/2014/01/08/wpix-to-add-11-a-m-and-weekend-morning-newscasts/">Related: WPIX to Add Weekend and Weekday Newscasts</a></span></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Needless to say, employees were upset. We’re hearing that many who received the email found the tone harassing and threatening. Here’s the entire message that Shalev sent:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Last year, I asked for sweeps submissions and got a total of 4! As I mentioned, content submissions and pitches will be a big part of performance management this year (so it will impact your salary increases).Can I please have fully-formed week-long pitches or special events from EVERYONE who works on the content for the show (writers/producers/reporters/anchors) by the end of Friday. Please submit at least 3. They need to be high quality, well thought out sweeps and stunts. Absolutely no exceptions.</i> <i>It will be too late when we are assessing your performance in the near future.</i></span></span></div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While news director <b>Mark Effron </b>was unavailable for comment, spokesperson <b>Jessica Bellucci</b> tells Tuned In, “An email was sent to the news staff regarding the station’s performance management process; however this process is not applicable to all who were on the email distribution list. When this was discovered, an apology was immediately issued.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The immediacy came only after Shalev, a former CBS <i>Early Show</i> executive producer, was taken to task by the human resources department, a well-placed source confirms. </b>A day later, PIX personnel found an “about-face” note in their inbox:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Yesterday, I sent out an email asking for February sweep ideas. Thank you very much for your great submissions. There are some exciting ideas there. It has come to my attention that the performance management process and pay increases are not relevant to everyone on this list. While pitching is an important part of the editorial team’s day to day responsibilities, the performance management process isn’t relevant to everyone, so I apologize if it was taken the wrong way by anyone who is part of a collective bargaining agreement and/or has individual contracts.</i></span></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We’re told that several staffers contacted their respective unions saying they were being threatened. The on-air talent is covered by the Screen Actor's Guild American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAGAFTRA), while producers and writers are part of the Newspaper Guild.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tuned In made several attempts to reach SAGAFTRA for a comment.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But, a number of others were willing to provide insight into the email flap.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Effron allows his managers to escape responsibility for on-air mistakes, poor ratings, and mistreatment of employees,” one WPIX insider says. “Yet he never misses a chance to blame producers and talent.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That talent and those producers have watched as the morning broadcast with Shalev at the helm has tanked. For example, on Tuesday the household rating was so low it registered hash marks. In the main demographic– adults 25-54– all a.m. dayparts were also literally off the charts— in a bad way.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tuned In investigated whether Shalev’s style is standard operating procedure at other newsrooms in New York. We got a resounding no from a pair of industry insiders.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“I’ve never heard of a news boss threatening money on a special project. They really don’t have the authority. The GM pays you and he’s rarely a part of the day to day contracts.” The person adds, “If a news director hates your work enough to threaten to dock your pay, they’d just as soon can you.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another experienced “outsider” concurs.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“I find that a bit unnerving, leaving money at the subjective discretion of a supervisor who could be a different person than the boss who negotiated the contract. In general, threatening a contractual raise – or not giving it – is a station breach… I would certainly not like working for a place that would do that,” the source says.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An additional WPIX source says Shalev’s email represents a “harassment of the masses,” and points out that despite the apology, the damage is done. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“This problem will not go away until Zev goes away.”</span></span></div>

Employees of the Jersey Journal, owned by billionaire Donald Newhouse, protested Monday outside of
the paper’s new office building during its grand opening in Secaucus
and demanded executives negotiate a fair contract that will raise wages
and provide reasonable benefits. The Journal has been in a contract
dispute with its employees and their union, the
Newspaper Guild of New York, CWA Local 31003, since January 2013.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The unrest at the <em>Journal</em>
adds to a larger climate of anxiety at Advance's Jersey publishing
stable, which includes 10 other newspapers and the web portal <a href="http://www.nj.com/">www.nj.com</a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Advance's crown jewel in the Garden State, <em>The Star-Ledger</em>, was brought to the brink of closure last fall as its trade unions battled over concessions with publisher Richard Vezza.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Throughout the chain, <a href="http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2013/12/8537623/emstar-ledgerem-fears-empicayuneems-fate" target="_blank">journalists are on edge</a>
over a recent announcement that Advance is looking at ways to
consolidate its Jersey titles. Fears abound of massive downsizing such
as that which has occurred at other Advance newspapers over the past few
years, most notably <em>The Times-Picayune</em> of New Orleans.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The <em>Jersey Journal </em>is
a six-day tabloid that has fallen far from its glory years as a
well-respected broadsheet. These days it focuses mostly on pithy bursts
of crime and municipal news. But it remains the major news source for an
area that is booming with development and small-business growth as New
Yorkers migrate west in search of more affordable housing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">According
to the Alliance for Audited Media, average weekday circulation for the

16,500 during the same period in 2012.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tribune Co. said Friday that it has closed its transaction to acquire
broadcaster Local TV, creating one of the largest broadcast groups in
the country.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“This is a historic day for Tribune and Local TV,” Tribune CEO Peter
Liguori said in a statement. “Combining these two great media companies
will deliver tremendous benefits for our viewers, advertisers, and most
important, the communities we serve. This is a transformational
acquisition for Tribune, providing us with significant scale to drive
our business objectives and create substantial shareholder value.”</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The $2.7 billion acquisition was <a href="http://http//corporate.tribune.com/pressroom/?p=5734">first announced in July</a>. The<a href="http://www.multichannel.com/finance/fcc-approves-gannettbelo-tribunelocal-tv-mergers/147334"> Federal Communications Commission approved the deal on Dec. 20.</a></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As a result of the transaction, Tribune now owns 39 television
stations across the country. In addition, Tribune will provide certain
services to support the operations of three former Local TV stations
owned by Dreamcatcher Broadcasting LLC.</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The combined broadcast portfolios include 14 Fox affiliates, 14 CW
affiliates, 5 CBS affiliates, 3 ABC affiliates and 2 NBC affiliates.
Tribune owns 14 stations in top-20 markets and the company is now the
No. 1 Fox affiliate group and the No. 1 CW affiliate group in the
country. The transaction added market-leading stations in prime cities
such as Denver, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City, Salt Lake City and
Milwaukee to the Tribune line-up.</span></span></div>
