More than 60 staffers of the State Journal-Register rallied outside their offices Monday demanding the owner of parent company Gatehouse Media settle on a contract for news room workers.
Dean Olsen, the local head of the United Media Guild, says negotiations have been at a standstill since 2012.
“We are here today and the get public’s support,” says Olsen. “All we want is a fair contract.”
Olsen, who is also the paper’s healthcare reporter, says Gatehouse seems willing to take money from the community without investing in local employees.
