McClatchy files form 8-K with SEC to freeze pensions and matching contribututions for Pruitt and other employees

Read it here.

The company announced last week it was freezing employee pensions and temporarily halting matching contributions to workers’ 401(k) savings plans. Those moves were to begin March 31.

I initially thought today's SEC filing applied to Pruitt only but now I'm thinking it applies to all employees. (I'm hoping some readers smarter than me can read the filing and explain it in simple English.)

From comments, today's filing applies to Pruitt and corporate execs.

A.H. Belo Corp. gave bonuses to its newspaper and corporate managers at the same time it announced a mass layoff of 500 employees last week, Robert Wilonsky reported today in the Dallas Observer.

This is "hand-to-hand combat," Moroney says in between meetings with employees. [Layoffs]
