The union representing the bulk of employees at
Philadelphia Media Network have filed an unfair labor practice charge with the
National Labor Relations Board and a grievance against the company, claiming it
bargained in bad faith during negotiations that led to a new collective
bargaining agreement between the two sides this past summer.
In a bulletin to members, Newspaper Guild Local 10
executive board members said they have learned that the company’s proposal to
eliminate side agreements to the previous contract, on the claim they were no
longer applicable, was false.
Specifically, the union said management was not truthful
about its proposal to eliminate one side letter that obligated PMN management
to make the same contributions to the Guild’s pension fund that they made to
any other union. The bulletin said management failed to disclose that it had
already agreed to resume contributions to the Teamsters pension plan.
