WASHINGTON — As the Post moves forward with the integration of print and internet operations,we have in place a process for advance notification of significant changes. These include meetings with management to discuss and act upon changes as they occur, and pre-bargaining meetings to attempt to resolve major issues, such as integration and Guild coverage for web workers. The Guild has been meeting with the Post on small scale integration experiments, such as one that will be implemented shortly in Sports, where several WPNI staffers will work side by side with our members in the newsroom.
Some have asked what is happening at other newspaper online integrations. The NY Guild recently ratified their New York Times digital contract which included pay parity with the newspaper, training programs for Web Producer, Web Designer and Video Journalist job categories, and making digital employees eligible to participate in the Time’s Distinguished Journalism Program.
