Ware appreciated the support and said it boosted his mood.

Get Well (hash)5! Former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann, who also suffered a horrific leg injury on Monday Night Football in 1985 that ended his career, and Miami Heat stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were among those tweeting encouraging words.

#COURIER JOURNAL E EDITION DRIVERS#
Delivery drivers must have reliable transportation we’re glad to fill you in on the rest when you call. Please call 80 for assistance. Also, we hope you regularly take advantage of access to our e-edition, a digital replica of the newspaper, which can be found by clicking this link.Īnd if you are looking for work or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you. Please be patient and let us know when you’re missing your newspaper so we can get your account credited. Our message to you today is twofold: If you are a subscriber, we want you to understand our challenges and to know we’re doing everything in our power to get the situation resolved. We love being part of that morning routine, too. We know our subscribers love their morning routine of stepping outside to grab the newspaper and catching up on the news in their community before the day gets going.
We know it’s a frustrating situation, and we deeply apologize if you have been impacted by it. We also are increasing the wages for our staff and have incentivized potential employees in an effort to quickly fill these important support roles. We’ve increased compensation and are offering sign-on bonuses. That’s the case at The Courier Journal, where we continue to aggressively recruit for delivery contractors. Here’s the article published in the Courier Journal online each day. Let us hear from you if you’re having a similar situation and especially let us know if you’ve found a way to keep carrier delivery at a high rate. It could be in delivering the printed edition each day or a shopper/total market coverage product. While the Courier Journal writes about its dilemma each day, I’m sure there are several other newspapers facing similar difficulties. Newspapers were no longer required to carry workers compensation or be responsible for unemployment insurance.īecause of those costs, some newspapers had switched from carrier delivery to postal delivery and are still in that process. But with the help of several newspapers, KPA introduced legislation and had it successfully passed by the legislature that carriers were indeed independent contractors.
As employees, newspapers were responsible for workers compensation and unemployment insurance. Until a few years ago, and since the 1970s, carriers were considered employees of newspapers, not independent contractors. The Courier Journal notes that newspapers are suffering an employee shortage as much as hotels and restaurants, industries and retail outlets. While jobs appear to be plentiful, finding people who want to work has been a setback.įor the last few weeks, the Louisville Courier-Journal has had one of its “Top Headlines” each day read: Carrier shortage affects Courier Journal newspaper delivery.Īnd it’s been there most every day.
One important part is especially showing difficulty - newspaper carriers. Fast food restaurants, grocers and similar retail businesses are still trying to recover even as many of the pandemic restrictions are being lifted.īut without a good number of people looking to get back into the workplace, many have not recovered to the level of 15 months ago. The pandemic set off work stoppages, closings and scaled back business.
It’s no secret that businesses are having a difficult time finding workers.
