Gosh, what a concept:  Washington Post Union Wants Same Raise As [Trust Fund Kid] Publisher:

Union leaders representing newsroom and other employees at The Washington Post want the same 16.4% pay raise that Publisher Katharine Weymouth

received this year, according to a message to rank-and-file members that also criticized management contract demands regarding holidays and salary issues.

The salary request occurred during this week’s first round of contract negotiations. The Guild’s current contract with the Post expires on June 7, 2011.

There are people at the Post who’ve been there longer and who are three times Weymouth’s age who are making less than she is.

Some of you will say the boss deserves the biggest raise, so let’s compromise.  Weymouth gets a 16.4% raise and  rank-and-file members get a 14% raise.  How about that?

Hell yes.  Act up.  Make Noise!

Since when has your salary gone up 14%, much less 16.4% in one year?
