San Francisco Chronicle writers walk off the job in 'lunch-out'
Briefly

Instead of reporting and editing, San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate staffers will be picketing outside the newspaper's Fifth and Mission building at noon today, pushing the newspaper's management to sign a union contract after negotiations have stalled.Nearly two years into negotiations between the San Francisco Chronicle Guild and Hearst, and after dozens of bargaining sessions, the guild now feels that it is on the verge of failing to address three issues that "are just too important" to go unaddressed in their contract: stagnant wages, unequal parental leave and an arbitration clause that allows the company to take "creative interpretations of the contract."
