Herald workers gain windfall as stock revaluation boosts pensions
The Harris Group revaluation raises Herald and six papers stock value by 9.4 million dollars and 403 thousand in PST value. Trustees explain shifts from profit driven to retirement plan, with 25 percent of profits historically paid into PSTs and now liquidity concerns prompting stock buybacks and possible 401K retirement changes. Former employees may withdraw windfall profits until June 30 after tax guidance.
