According to the Everett NewsGuild, the new owners of the Daily Herald in Everett, WA want to inflict financial punishment on the paper’s unionized journalists for failing to meet unreasonable story quotas.
As part of ongoing contract negotiations, Herald management has repeatedly proposed wages far below the cost of living in Snohomish County. They’ve paired those low wages with a $1-per-hour raise only for employees who consistently publish two to three stories per day.
The Everett NewsGuild reported on Nov. 30 that Carpenter Media offers new journalists just $20.50 an hour, which is $0.26 above Everett’s new large company minimum wage, going into effect on July 1.
