Product Description:

On Oct. 7, 2007, Arbitrator Martin F. Sheinman denied a grievance brought by GCIU Local 8N which protested corporate benefit changes made by Dow Jones to its retiree medical care plan and money purchase retirement plan (MPP). Scheinman rejected the union’s argument that it never agreed to a bargaining waiver on the issue, finding clear and controlling language on the matter in the agreement.
