Mythbuster #1

Word is that Guild negotiators at our MNG sister paper, The Monterey Herald, are making headway in hammering out a new contract -- one that isn't stripped down like a junkyard car.

Mythbuster #1: MediaNews can be brought to the table and held accountable by organized workers. That's "workers" - plural - as in all of us, and "organized", as in union.

If it can be done in Monterey, St. Paul and Denver, it definitely can be done by the 300 of us here in the East Bay.

That's right: we can stand up for what we believe and negotiate terms of our day-to-day work, instead of just swallowing whatever the company chooses to give us. Don't we deserve a say in our future?
