Employees at St. Louis Dispatch Plan "Let Them Eat Cake" Protest
How’s this for biting the hand that feeds you? Or rather, slapping it in the face instead.
Employees of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch will gather outside their office at noon today in the name of a protest against corporate greed! According to the United Media Guild, they’re protesting the bonuses paid to Mary Junck, the CEO, and Carl Schmidt, the CFO. They earned $500,000 and $250,000, respectively.
When Junck and Schmidt received their six-figure bonuses for refinancing the debt of newspaper chain Lee Enterprises, the chain was busy laying off journalists at their papers.
