Is This Our Future?

The Post plans to create a "Co

mmunity
Journalist" position. The starting
salary for the
job would be $34,000 a year. They
could write
for the extras, the web and the Da
ily. It is a new
position, they say. We say this sou
nds a lot like
the positions we already have. Th
ey're called
reporters. In this economy, someo
ne will surely
want these jobs. But, be clear, the
y will do the
work we do now for a lower wage
.
We will meet soon to plan our
response.
Please be ready, on short notice,
to gather to
discuss our next move as we pre
pare for
contract negotiations. Talk to you
r colleagues
and Guild Reps, whether you are
a dues-
paying member or not. This impact
s all of our
jobs.
