That's good news for the men and women working at 18th and Grand.
The company instituted a wage freeze in September 2008.
According to a memo released by Chief Executive Gary Pruitt, pay raises will start again on a varied timetable depending on the individual circumstances of each paper.
If this is the first sign of turnaround, it's a well-deserved ray of light for KC's daily.
In the last two years, the people working at the Star have survived four rounds of layoffs and a publisher who compares them to roadkill and workers trapped in a mine shaft.

Well isn't this the height of corporate hubris.
Zieman and McClatchy must have balls of steel to even think about writing a company wide memo about this crap.
They take 5 percent of our pay that we had already earned, which probably took most folks at the Star 5 years of raises to get and then they turn around 12 months later and gives us a crappy 1 or 2% back and they have the nerve to call it a "pay raise".
Isn't this just fucking marvelous.
Fucking wankers.
How about restoring the 5% that they took from us first before even beginning to talk about "pay raises"?
The suits at McClatchy and the Star are a joke.
BTW, why the hell does the Star have more VP's than the New York Times? Why do they need to have a VP for the editorial page?
Fucking crooks. All of them.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if Mark Zieman got the first raise? I'm sure he's taken 4 pay cuts and suffered mightily.
