We're
73 years old!
 The
Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh was chartered in
April 1934. At that time, we were members of The American Newspaper Guild, which
changed to The Newspaper Guild in the early 1970s with the addition of
members from Canada and Puerto Rico.
In July 1997, The Newspaper
Guild became a sector of the
Communications Workers of America,
which has more than 650,000 members in the telecommunications industry.
The Pittsburgh Guild is in CWA
District 13
and the TNG Great Lakes District.

 The
TNG/CWA sector has more than 30,000 members in the advertising,
business, circulation, editorial, maintenance,
promotion and related departments of the newspaper industry.
 Dues
Membership dues rates are established by
TNG/CWA. Initiation is $10 and monthly dues is 1.5 percent of one week's
salary. Dues are deducted weekly by the payroll department. On month s
with five weeks, no dues is deducted that week. We
remit approximately $19 per full-time member and about $8 per part-time
member to TNG/CWA each month. The balance of the dues revenue is
deposited into our treasury.
