Utica Minimizes Impact
September 2017 – The Utica Guild entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in September that minimizes the impact of outsourcing copy editing and design work from the Observer Dispatch newsroom in New York to the GateHouse Center for News and Design (CND) in Austin, TX, effective Oct. 9.
The three affected copy editors, who were also page designers, will be reassigned as full-time reporters, with no loss of compensation, benefits or seniority.
