Allentown Morning Call worker files labor complaint

I'm a former member of the GAU. It would later become the GCIU. It is now the GCU.

ALLENTOWN, September 11th- A member of the Graphic Communications Conference Union (GCU), formerly the Graphic Communications International Union (GCIU) which merged with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Union in 2005, Local 4-C filed a complaint against her union which represents some of the employees of the Allentown Morning Call newspaper, North Sixth Street in Allentown.

The majority of the Allentown Morning Call employees are nonunion. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union Local 773 in Allentown was removed as the bargaining representative of the daily newspaper drivers around fifteen years ago and the Communications Workers of America/Newspaper Guild has not represented the newsroom employees for several years after failing to reach an labor agreement with the previous owners of the Morning Call.

Local 4-C represents pressroom personnel of the Allentown Morning Call.

On September 8th, Jean Haskins, West Union Street in Allentown, a union member, filed a Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charge against Local 4-C alleging the labor organization violated Section 8 (b) and subsections (1)(A) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRAct). The complaint was filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Region Four in Philadelphia.
