11 a.m. Roundup: Lance's Tweet Mob | Who Writes Chron Comments? | Drive, Merc Workers, Drive!

By Jason Turbow on Aug 18, 2009 02:00 PM

Mercury News employees who drive their own vehicles on company business are cashing in with an extra 13 cents a mile after an escalator clause in the Guild's contract kicked in. As of July 1, they're now making 47.5 cents or a minimum of $45 a week, whichever is higher.
