NEW YORK—In a bid to win last minute support for its acquisition of Tegna, Standard General has made additional commitments to representatives of The NewsGuild-CWA (TNG) and National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians-CWA (NABET). Both unions have opposed the acquisition.
The new commitments promises TNG and NABET additional job protections, no layoffs and increased news budgets at Tegna stations, building on early promises made to expand Tegna’s news operations and protect jobs.
