Tyler Perry's How to Bust a Union and Bully Employees [Labor]

Posted: October 4th, 2008, 10:09am CDT by ian spiegelman

Tags: Labor

Writer/actor/director/producer Tyler Perry knows what's best for his writers. And what's best for them, apparently, is to churn out sitcom scripts without union protection or representation. The Writers' Guild of America West has filed a complaint against Perry's production company for unfair labor practices, claiming four writers on his TBS sitcom, Tyler Perry's House of Payne, were shitcanned for trying to join the union.

Jeff Hermanson, an assistant executive director for the Writers Guild, said the four writers — Kellie Griffin, Christopher Moore, Teri Brown-Jackson and Lamont Ferrell — had sought a union contract because they felt they were underpaid and lacked benefits. Matt Johnson, a Los Angeles lawyer representing Mr. Perry, above, said the firing of the writers was related to “the quality of their work.” The writers are planning to picket this weekend at the opening of Tyler Perry Studios, a 28-acre production complex outside Atlanta.

Fired from a TBS sitcom over the "quality of their work"? Come on, guy. Even an entertainment lawyer can't get that one out with a straight face.

Here is our favorite Alaskan blog on the issue, or take a walk on the "high road" over at Jezebel.

Union Takes Anti-Wasserstein Fight to (Most) New York Media [Labor Relations]

Tags: Labor Relations

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Billionaire Bruce Wasserstein is under attack from communists! And they're taking the fight to the blogs! SEIU, the service industry union, has been trying to unionize workers at a chain of nursing homes called Atria Senior Living. Atria was recently bought by Lazard Real Estate Partners, which is a little corner of Lazard Ltd., which is the parent company of Wasserstein's investment bank. Since the buyout, SEIU says the nursing homes have raised rents while cutting staff and level of care. You'll find SEUI's tricky pretend financial ads on the sites of the New York Post, the Times, and, yes, Gawker (see attached, or look up). But you probably won't see them over at the homepage of New York Magazine, which is owned by a guy named Bruce Wasserstein. [NYP]

Goldman Sachs Cafeteria Workers Feel Especially Poor [The Poors]

Posted: March 4th, 2008, 8:34pm CST by Ryan Tate

Tags: Labor

The average compensation of a Goldman Sachs employee was $660,000 last year, and chief Lloyd Blankfein took home the largest Wall Street CEO payday in history in 2007, at $69 million. The average salary of a worker in Goldman Sachs' corporate cafeteria, as paid by food service firm Aramark? $21,000 per year, according to labor union UNITE HERE. That is, of course, a huge gulf in pay. But why is the union bringing this up now?
UNITE HERE isn't trying to unionize Sachs' workers since they are already represented by the union. Despite the pay gulf at Goldman between cafeteria workers and bankers, the union local's current efforts, at least as outlined in the press release below, do not focus on wages for Goldman cafeteria workers.
Instead, the union wants to unionize PriceWaterhouseCooper and Citigroup's Aramark-run executive dining rooms, and to do so "without management interference" -- that's usually code for a process called "card check neutrality" in which management must not take a position against unionization and in which workers do not cast anonymous ballots but instead sign cards and give them to the union. The process makes unionization much easier.
The union also wants better wages for workers at Bank of New York.
How did Goldman get tied up in all this, then? It happens to own 20 percent of Aramark and the union is trying to pressure Goldman to pressure Aramark. And what better way to do so than with a bold statistic, even if it doesn't have much to do with the matter at hand.
UNITE HERE press release:
Last year the average Goldman Sachs employee made approximately $660,000
while the average Aramark cafeteria employee at Goldman took home only
$410 per week. Hundreds of Aramark workers will call on Goldman, as a
part owner of Aramark, to tell the company to raise wages and provide
health insurance that families can afford, and to stop interfering in
workers’ decision to form a union.

“Aramark is in cafeterias all across the city,” explains Bill Granfield.
“Lots of places, lots of problems – and we’re here at Goldman because
they’re not just a client they’re an owner. This company has the ability
to change the lives of the people serving the country’s richest
financial institutions.”

Thirty-two Aramark cafeteria workers at Bank of New York locations at
101 Barclay and One Wall Street – where the rally begins – went out on
strike on March 4 to demand better wages after more than four months of
working without a contract.

The strike is just the latest in a long string of labor problems the
company has provoked here in New York, and across the country. Aramark
workers at 55 Water Street and New York Life were forced to walk the
picket line for three months in the dead of winter before Aramark
finally settled in February.

On March 3, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer held a hearing to
address the quality of jobs created in the borough. Aramark cafeteria
workers at locations around the city testified about the low standards
and struggles they face.

At PricewaterhouseCoopers and Citigroup’s executive dining room,
non-union Aramark workers are fighting for the right to decide whether
they want a union without management interference, and struggling to
leave the ranks of the working poor. Aramark has responded by
intimidating and interrogating workers.

Today’s march will bring together hundreds of Aramark workers from
across the city – from cafeterias at PricewaterhouseCoopers, the United
Nations, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, CBS, and others.

“Goldman Sachs owns 20% of Aramark. That puts them in the position to
change the company’s course. Aramark has violated the public trust in
Philly, in Detroit, in Florida and been enmeshed in one scandal after
another. We expect Goldman and the other owners of Aramark to rein in
this company's behavior, or be held accountable for it,” said Bruce Raynor.

Is Paige Davis The Victim Of The Strike or Her Own Suck? [Razzle Dazzle]

Vivacious redhead Paige Davis has agreed to return as host of a new HD version of the once-geisty TLC home-swap design show Trading Spaces. What does this all mean? Well, for one thing, that the Broadway dreams of one Paige Davis, who's played Roxie in the stage version of Chicago —she's a thespian on the level of Lisa Rinna and Ashlee Simpson!— are dashed. Tail between legs, she slinks back...but wait! Perhaps Paige Davis is merely the Terry Malloy of the troubled labor times! She does kinda look like a young Brando.
Ms. Davis can just blame it on the stagehand strike! Still, she has to come to terms with the step backwards into the reality dregs—I mean, she couldn't even get on a Lifetime serial? But wait some more! There's a writer's strike on; no scripted TV! Little by little, the week's bicoastal labor unrest has acheived its goal: excusing one lady's career failure. [AP]
