Source: Broadcast Union News


From 11:30am to 1:30pm on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, members of The Newspaper Guild of New York, Local 31003, CWA, working at McGraw-Hill owned Standard and Poors, protested the outsourcing of thousands of good-paying McGraw–Hill jobs to India.

The quiet protest outside the Standard and Poors Manhattan Corporate Headquarters at 55 Water Street consisted of a rotating group of about 40 Guild members at any given point, who spent their lunch hours handing out flyers denouncing the coming layoffs and outsourcing of jobs to India.

Guild members were joined by members of the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), the National Writers Union local 1983 (NWU-UAW), the New York Administrative Employees Local 1180 CWA, AFSCME 375 DC 37, and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees TPU Local One (IATSE), as well as members of Occupy Wall Street.

McGraw-Hill CEO Terry McGraw, who sits on President Obama’s Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations, has already sent thousands of American jobs to India and despite posting a $ 911 million dollar profit in 2011(see page 31 in their 2011 annual report), intends to send thousands more McGraw-Hill jobs to his Indian facilities, including a number of Guild represented jobs at Standard and Poors.
