ALT A quote card that reads: "My salary isn't worth much more than my salary after inflation when I started here in 1995. I have paid the 'loyalty penalty.' I gave back raises to save our health fund, and took furloughs to help save the company. I accepted paltry 2 percent raises when the industry was struggling and management was licking its wounds from bad business decisions. During that time I have struggled to put three kids through college while the company thumped its chest over soaring profits and surging subscriptions, handing out millions in executive raises, dividends and stock buybacks. I'm ready to walk because it's our turn to collect on our sweat equity." Signed, New York Times New Guild Grievance Chair Jim Luttrell
