JOINT DIVERSITY COMMITTEE. The Publisher and the Guild are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, focusing on women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups, including, but not limited to, Black, Latino, Asian American, Native and LGBTQ people, for the positions covered by this Agreement. The company will make a concerted effort to have a diverse applicant pool and to interview diverse candidates for each job. A joint diversity committee, comprised of up to four representatives each from labor and management, will meet at least once a quarter. It will discuss diversity, equity, inclusion, recruitment, retention, promotions, and career development and other related issues. The goal of these meetings is to collaboratively identify challenges and develop approaches and actionable steps to improve diversity, equity and inclusion at the Star Tribune. The committee will make recommendations to the Editor, who will attend at least one meeting of the joint committee a year. A professional facilitator will support the work group and its meetings as needed. At joint diversity committee meetings, management will share updates on the demographics of new hires and departures within the last quarter. It will also provide information, as much as it is aware, of the diversity of applicant pools and candidates interviewed for each opening. Working groups within the newsroom will provide updates to the joint committee. One of those working groups will include the hiring advisory committee. That committee will include bargaining unit employees and will continue to meet and advise on developing, refining and monitoring recruiting and hiring practices for the newsroom to ensure transparency and equity, with an aim of increasing diversity. The Guild may request an annual census on newsroom demographics that includes race/ethnicity, gender, the wages of bargaining unit employees. On an annual basis, the company will share the demographics of the newsroom, including leadership roles, on xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
