FROM: Daniel B. Totten, President
The Boston Newspaper Guild is pleased to announce that the American Arbitration Association has ruled in our favor in case #11300277503, 2004-25 Retroactive Pay for Retirees Grievance.
AAA has ruled that the company violated our CBA by not paying unit members who participated in the 2001 Boston Globe Voluntary Resignation Program their retroactive compensation based on the negotiated general wage increase made effective January 1, 2001 for work performed by such members between that date and the effective date of each such member’s resignation.
As a remedy each such employee who participated in the 2001 buyout shall be granted appropriate back pay retroactively with interest at the rate of 12%.
