The action was taken to express frustration at McClatchy, the parent company of the newspaper, with whom One Herald Guild has been negotiating a labor contract for over two years. One of the biggest points of contention are the sharp pay disparities between El Nuevo Herald reporters and their English-reporting counterparts at The Miami Herald.
