Detroit Sunday Journal
The ''Detroit Sunday Journal'' was a weekly tabloid newspaper published from November 19, 1995, through November 21, 1999, in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States by striking workers from ''The Detroit News'' and ''The Detroit Free Press.'' It was pro-union, and focused on labor issues as well as local news. There were just over 200 editions published and circulation for most editions was 40,000-60,000, being made available through the mail and in stores and corner boxes throughout Southeast Michigan. Originally intended to merely shed light on the Detroit Newspaper Strike and other labor issues, it became one of the longest-running temporary newspapers ever. There were calls for it to become a daily paper in the Detroit area, given its pro-union focus during a time that people considered the leading periodicals, The Detroit News and The Detroit Free Press to be anti-union. Although the newspaper strike formally ended in February, 1997, the Detroit Sunday Journal continued to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Detroit Newspaper Strike Of 1995–1997
The Detroit Newspaper Strike was a major labor dispute which began in Detroit, Michigan on July 13, 1995, and involved several actions including a local boycott, corporate campaign, and legal charges of unfair labor practices. The primary action involved around 2,500 members of six labor unions going on strike from July 13, 1995, to February 14, 1997. The unions ended their strike on February 14, 1997, and it was resolved in court three years later, with the journalists' union losing its unfair labor practices case on appeal.

Management attempted to force out the unions by attempting to switch from employee distribution to independent contractors. The unions claimed management was engaging in unfair labor practices. Chris Rhomberg, a sociology professor at Fordham University, concludes in his book, ''The Broken Table'', that management provoked the strike a ...
