News Guild continues contract negotiations with proposals on wages, health

The Albany Newspaper Guild negotiating team met with Times Union representatives on the afternoon of Monday May 20, 2024.

The bargaining session was off-the-record which means we can’t go into details.

The Guild presented a comprehensive proposal covering wages, health insurance, retirement and contract language to reach a new contract.

The Company representatives are reviewing the proposal. We expect to hear from them in June after the holiday weekend.

The Guild is represented by President Ken Crowe, Secretary Wendy Liberatore and Executive Board member David Johnson.

The company team is Publisher George Hearst and CFO Andy Lennartz.
