Pros
Great co-workers all striving to put out a daily newspaper and website under continuing difficult circumstances. Talented journalists and graphic artists working together and doing their best work while facing challenging work conditions.
Cons
Employees have had to accept cuts in wages and hours, as well as a loss of health benefits and matching retirement funds. Job layoffs are now the norm, and many long time senior employees have either left the newspaper or have been let go to save money. This is also the fourth straight month that payroll has faced a delay of several days.
