94% of SCNG Journalists, Owned by Alden Global Capital, Authorize Open-Ended Strike
Sep 23, 2024, 04:24 PM
Journalists at the Southern California News Group (SCNG), owned by Alden Global Capital, have voted overwhelmingly to authorize an open-ended strike. The union leaders cite the lack of pay raises for many workers in over a decade, coupled with the rising cost of living in Southern California, as key reasons for the strike. Workers are demanding fair wages, year-round healthcare benefits, and improved working conditions. The strike vote includes journalists from several major newspapers such as the OC Register, Riverside Press Enterprise, LA Daily News, Long Beach Press Telegram, Pasadena Star News, and San Bernardino Sun. Union members, 94 percent of whom supported the strike, have been negotiating with management for over two-and-a-half years without reaching an agreement. The union's decision to strike is a significant move to push for a fair contract that addresses their grievances.
