Fair compensation, including salary minimums, pay scales that reflect equal pay for work of equal value, clear paths to promotions and raises, retirement savings plans, and better benefits;

Fair notice for layoffs, and severance packages;

Fair treatment of contractors, including job security, permanent employment after an established time, fair pay, and benefits;

Fair diversity policies that formalize hiring diverse staff and improve newsroom diversity.
