King's Day

Members of the Dayton Newspaper Guild joined the annual march in Dayton to celebrate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday and to remember King's civil rights legacy and his support of the working people of America.

In April of 1968, King went to Memphis to support striking sanitation workers. He paid with his life.

This year, the Dayton Daily News finally made King's birthday a holiday--some 25 years after it became a federal holiday. But this came as part of bigger company change that included drastic cuts in sick leave, disability and personal days. The Dayton Daily News used Dr. King's day as a cover for a huge takeaway to its workers.

The DDN has also illegally broken off talks with the Dayton Newspaper Guild, the union that represents about 150 newsroom workers.

It's time for the DDN to honor King's legacy properly by treating workers fairly and bargaining in good faith with the Guild.
