NOTICE
TO EMPLOYEES
POSTED PURSUANT TO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVED BY A REGIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS
BOARD FEDERAL LAW GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO
Form, join or assist a union;
Choose representatives to bargain with us on your behalf;
Act together with other employees for your benefit
and protection;
Choose not to engage in any of these protected activities.
WE WILL NOT do anything that restrains or coerces employees
in their exercise of these rights.
More specifically,
WE
WILL NOT threaten employees with loss of work
opportunities, threaten to expel them from membership,
bring charges against them, or fine and/or threaten
to fine them because they make protected concerted
inquiries with an employer regarding work opportunities
afforded under the collective bargaining agreement
we have with that employer and WE WILL NOT deny opportunities
to employees because their co-workers make such protected
concerted activities.
WE
WILL NOT attempt to cause an employer to discriminate
against its employees because of the employees' involvement
in proceedings with the National Labor Relations Board.
WE
WILL NOT refer employees to fill positions
at the Boston Herald without applying objective criteria
in the selection process.
WE
WILL NOT maintain the "closed shop" clause
in the first paragraph of Appendix A of the collective-bargaining
agreement, we have with Boston Herald where it states
that the Boston Herald will employ only our members
in good standing.
WE
WILL request The Globe Newspaper Co. to modify
the language that appears in Section III. D 3) of the
supplemental agreement to our collective-bargaining
agreement to so that the priority given to Herald and
Lynn Union members is changed to give the priority
to Herald bargaining unit employees.
WE
WILL agree to delete or cross out the first
paragraph of Appendix A from all of our copies of the
collective-bargaining agreement we have with the Boston
Herald.
WE
WILL rescind the charges that were brought
against our member Joseph Donelli and the fine notification
letter dated September 2, 2005 that we issued to him
and
WE
WILL notify Donelli in writing that we have
done so.
WE
WILL rescind and inform the Boston Herald
that we are rescinding our August 2005 referral of
the individuals to fill the newly created priority
substitute and extra positions and
WE
WILL solicit employees in the bargaining units
of the Boston Herald and Boston Globe, including employees
who held the position of trainee at the Boston Globe
and extra at the Boston Herald as of July 20, 2005
to apply for these vacant positions at the Boston Herald.
WE
WILL make whole Rosemary Broderick for all
economic losses she sustained as a result of our not
providing her with work opportunities.
WE
WILL make whole Joseph Arsenault, John Ryan
and Henry Zellen for all economic loses they sustained
as a result of our not referring them for one of the
available Boston Herald priority substitute and/or
extra positions.
