Guild ratifies new contract at BBNA

1/22/2019

News Guild members last Thursday voted to ratify a new, three-year contract with BBNA. The new contract provides a $1,250 ratification bonus, 16 weeks of parental leave, an improved 401K matching program and triggers pay raises effective March 1. “It's a solid contract with great parental leave that does not discriminate on gender, a reasonable pay for performance system, protection of union access and rights, a solid freedom of employment protection, and a rather nice signing bonus,” said Peter Brusoe, the Guild's Bloomberg Government Vice-Chair at BBNA. "It sets a gold standard that other media and technology companies in the DC area should be emulating.”
