Cincinnati Newspaper Guild Backs Referendum on Per Capita Dues
The Cincinnati Newspaper Guild seeks a national member referendum to reverse the 1.40 per capita raise from the American Newspaper Guild convention. Local dues would be 1.15 for operating plus 0.10 for the defense fund if the fund dips below 100,000, effective Aug. 1 until a member vote.
