The Guild -- that's us, baby -- gets it done at MediaNews: Denver, St.Paul and, next up, BANG!It's not sign-on-the-dotted line official yet, but after hashing it out for three days the Guild and the Saint Paul Pioneer Press reached agreement late Wednesday on afour-year contract covering 340 employees -- right on the heels of winning the contract in Denver a couple weeks ago.That means raises (guaranteed not just promised) and a bar on layoffs through December 31, 2008. More details to follow, but for now, a membership vote on the tentative agreement will be scheduled for the middle part of next week. More details about the agreement will be provided beginning Friday, Oct. 19. A unit meeting will be scheduledon Wednesday, Oct. 24 to present the agreement and answer questions.Will keep you up to date, but for now, think of this: we are rockin' the MediaNews world.
