This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

DUMB MARXISTS WORRY AS THEIR GUILD LEADERS GET FAT. GUILD ANIMAL FARM ANYONE? EXECS PAY DOUBLES, DID YOURS?
Guild leaders get fat with pay hikes. Union prez takes raise as members sacrifice
Beleaguered leaders of the Boston Globe’s biggest union - under fire for failing to strike a concession deal with the paper’s out-of-town overlords - have themselves received generous pay hikes over the past three years - even as their members have gone without a raise, according to federal filings.
As recently as March, Boston Newspaper Guild president Dan Totten noted union members haven’t had a raise since 2006 as he slammed Globe and New York Times [NYT] Co. management for getting an extra two weeks paid vacation in exchange for accepting a 5 percent pay cut.
“The BNG is now in its fourth year of a wage freeze. Yet today, The NYT and Globe announced a five percent wage cut for managers, who will also receive an additional 10 personal days,” Totten said in a March 30 statement. “The Guild believes this is an affront to the workers who work without pay raises and perks every day.”
Records show that Totten’s Guild salary has jumped 12 percent in three years, from $87,482 in 2006 to $97,929 in 2007 to $98,076 in 2008.
Collectively, the pay of the Guild’s seven executive committee officers has almost doubled since 2005, jumping from $95,739 to $178,655 last year.
