Editorial Board exclusion

We were shocked to learn that McClatchy is actively refusing our right to join our

colleagues as members of One Herald Guild on the basis that we are part of the

Editorial Board.

We are not nor have we ever been part of the Editorial Board in any working sense,

and have no more role in establishing the Miami Herald or el Nuevo Herald’s public

image than any other Editorial staff member. None of us have ever participated in

any way in McClatchy’s editorial decisions.

We demand that McClatchy withdraw this refusal with the National Labor Relations

Board by November 19th, allowing our votes to be counted on the 20th.

Sincerely,

Carl Hiaasen
