Common use of Open Job Positions Clause in Contracts

Open Job Positions. Within ninety (90) days of ratification, the Company shall collect self-reported information from Candidates for the purposes of diversity and inclusion. When the Company seeks candidates for a vacant bargaining unit position not being created for a specific candidate or for purposes of promoting an existing bargaining unit employee, the Company shall set goals aimed at creating diverse candidate pools. The goal across all such vacant bargaining unit positions for which the Company is seeking outside candidates is a candidate pool, at a stage in the application process after the recruiter screening stage, that is comprised of, at least 50% of the candidates for roles (inclusive of active and passive candidates) from groups traditionally underrepresented in journalism (e.g., women, people of color, those identifying as LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and military veterans). At each meeting with the Diversity Committee, the Company shall provide the results for the roles closed in the prior quarter, so that the Committee can assess whether the above-referenced goals are being met. The Committee may also consider the demographic composition of each beat as part of that discussion. If in a calendar year the Company is unable to meet that aggregate 50% goal, the Diversity provision of the Agreement shall be reopened for further bargaining over additional steps to meet the percentage goals and increasing the Diversity Subcommittee budget. For purposes of calculating the 50%, applicants who do not self-report or prefer not to disclose shall not be included in the numerator or denominator. The Company shall encourage applicants to self-report, in furtherance of the diversity objectives set forth herein.
