NLRB Says 11 Albany Times-Union Employees Owed $600,000
The Albany Times-Union laid off 11 workers in 2009 in an event the National Labor Relations Board later ruled to be illegal because the company was still negotiating layoff criteria. Now, the board has determined that the newspaper owes those employees a combined $600,000 in back wages, plus pension accruals and interest.
The Albany Guild reports that one worker, who has still not found a new job, is owed more than $105,000. Another is owed $98,000, and a third will get $80,000.
