“I love my job … I love the people I work with,” says reporter Duaa Eldeib, “and to continue to do that work, we need wages that keep up with inflation.” Visit propublicaguild.org to help ProPublica workers win a strong first contract.

The goat union has a contract! ✊ 🕶️ 🐐 newsguild.org/workers-at-h...

“I’m deeply concerned about wage disparities across the newsroom,” says Jeremy Kohler, a reporter based in St. Louis. We need @propublica.org management to agree to fair wages in our contract.

Come see us here in Albany as we picket outside the Times Union! From 12 to 1 p.m. today we will join the Connecticut News Guild, Dallas News Guild and Austin News Guild — who, like us, are all currently fighting for a fair contract with Hearst Together, we are walking out and standing together

“ProPublica is … a shining light in a very troubled journalism industry,” says reporter Anna Barry-Jester, but “management is refusing to agree to basic layoff protections.” Help us win a fair contract with strong layoff protections: propublicaguild.org

Welcome to our newest members!!! ✊🎉

🧵 We are unionized! We are the staff of the San Francisco Public Press, a nonprofit investigative newsroom dedicated to breaking the surface level on deeply rooted issues in the city. We just formed a union and got voluntary recognition from our management!

We formed our union three years ago, but we still don’t have a contract. Our members are now releasing public testimonials to demand a FAIR CONTRACT NOW: www.propublicaguild.org/updates/vide...

ProPublica reporter Sharon Lerner likes going into the office, but “there are days when it doesn’t make sense, like when I’m making calls to another country or too busy to spend the time on the train.” We need a flexible return-to-office policy.

"I've gone from a department of five employees to one, and do the work of five people. I believe my work is essential, but it seems that the company does not." - Daniel Roese, Akron Beacon Journal news clerk Join our fight for sustainable news by signing our petition: tinyurl.com/ytjkxrxa

We are pleased to announce that we were able to come to an agreement to hold an NLRB election on July 24th. We’re looking forward to winning recognition with our overwhelming majority of support and continuing to fight for our colleagues! #SchnepsUnion

Perla Trevizo has been a reporter for 20 years. “I’ve been very, very lucky that I haven’t had to go through layoffs in my entire time as a journalist,” she said. “I hope to keep it that way.” We need job security protections to keep doing this work over the long haul: www.propublicaguild.org

"It's this simple: If sustainable journalism is the objective, then pay journalists a sustainable wage." - Andrew Dolph, Akron Beacon Journal photographer Join our fight for sustainable news by signing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

"I would have appreciated consistent, substantive raises. It would be even better if the company valued our hard work and compensated us appropriately." George Thomas, Akron Beacon Journal reporter Join our fight for sustainable news by signing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

Podcast producer Sabby Robinson knows firsthand how important layoff protections are in a union contract: “I started about 3 months ago, right after I got laid off from the Washington Post.” We deserve seniority-based layoff protections that are standard across the news industry.

Our members struck and won!

A huge thank you to all our supporters! We couldn’t have done this without our communities and those who care about the longevity of journalism.

She's asking you to sign the petition from the Goodyear Blimp (we think!)!

Last month, we won a Pulitzer Prize for our compassionate coverage of a deadly school shooting. Today, we helped our friends pack up their desks as the Minnesota Star Tribune lays off 15% of its staff. We’ve launched a fundraiser to help our colleagues figure out what’s next:

“I care about making sure that … people who look like me have the opportunity to work here,” South reporter Aliyya Swaby says. “A big part of that, to me, is wages.” Help us guarantee all ProPublica workers make a living wage: www.propublicaguild.org

"One unexpected bill can upset your financial reality. For us, it was a roof for $20k. No pay raise would cover that, but it would help with the stress." - Amanda Garrett, Akron Beacon Journal reporter. Join the fight for sustainable journalism. Sign our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

“Those of us in ‘low cost of living’ areas are effectively paying an annual penalty for doing this work in under-chronicled corners of the country,” says Midwest reporter Anna Clark. We deserve a contract with fair pay.

Today, we stood outside the news meeting to silently show what we think of @nytimes.com management’s plan to kill our health care fund……

“All workers deserve wages that at least keep up with inflation, because anything less is just a pay cut in disguise,” reporter Paul Kiel says. As inflation continues to rise, our contract must reflect this reality.

We're in The Chief! Thanks for highlighting our campaign! #SchnepsUnion www.thechiefleader.com/stories/jour...

As ProPublica’s IT support specialist Penny Serrano puts it: “We're just simply asking for a contract that reflects those values — and not just in words but also in wages.” Help us ensure fair pay for all our workers: www.propublicaguild.org

News apps developer Brandon Roberts says it best: No one who works at ProPublica should be living paycheck to paycheck. Support our fight for fair wages: www.propublicaguild.org

Our health-care fund is in a financial crisis. There’s an easy fix: The Times can agree to our proposal that fully funds it - but they refuse. They want us to believe it’s “not sustainable.”

ProPublica events manager Rocio Ortega has taken on Uber Eats and DoorDash deliveries to make ends meet. This shouldn’t be any of our workers’ financial reality. We need a contract that guarantees all our members fair pay: www.propublicaguild.org

“It’s really important for ProPublica that we have reporters who aren’t just parachuting in … but who actually live in the communities,” says reporter Jennifer Smith Richards. “The problem is that … we’re not paid the same.” Help ProPublica’s workers fight for fair pay: www.propublicaguild.org

We are encouraging members to change their Slack photos to our Albany Newspaper Guild logo while we bargain for a fair contract. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun with it

"Of my two monthly paychecks, one goes toward rent. The other is for groceries and bills. Because of this, I often live paycheck to paycheck." - Bryce Buyakie, Akron Beacon Journal reporter.

“We have disparities across teams, across regions. No one who works at ProPublica — where we say we hire the best — should be living paycheck to paycheck.” This is why we’re fighting for fair wages: www.propublicaguild.org

Management says they won’t replace us with AI. But “we’re gonna need that in writing,” says reporter and ProPublica podcast host Jessica Lussenhop. Here’s how you can support our fight:

Graphics editor Lucas Waldron: “I write a lot of code at my job. So I’m the first one who might be replaced by A.I.” We really need strong A.I. protections in our contract:

The New York Times clocks the faux-wood in its Primary Day coverage www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...

Our members recently attended @ire.org, the country’s largest convening of journalists, to hand out flyers and educate our colleagues about why a strong union contract at ProPublica is vital to our work and to the whole industry. Fair contract now!

“I have heard from our managers at ProPublica that they don’t intend to replace us with AI. And that’s great. But we’re gonna need that in writing.” This is why we’re fighting for protections against artificial intelligence:

This looks like an endorsement, but its not -- the wood of the Daily News should not be for sale! Our staff was mortified to wake up to a front page covered by a deceptive political ad for two days straight. Shame on Heath Freeman and Alden for selling our good name for a buck.

It’s been three years since we formed our union. We still don’t have a contract. Over the next few weeks, you’ll be hearing from us — the workers of @propublica.org — on why this contract is so important and the issues about which we care deeply.

🚨 The non-response we got from our CEO Josh Schneps after asking to meet face to face to come to an agreement over our union formation’s next phase. Schneps has so far refused to recognize our union. But they have another day to show leadership + listen to the majority of our unit. #SchnepsUnion

We and 4,700 other people recently braved a tornado watch to head to Chicago for LaborNotes, the largest gathering of rank-and-file union organizers in the U.S. Here’s some of what we learned. Thank you @nyguild.bsky.social and thank you @labornotes.bsky.social!

Earlier this year we also received letters of support from NYS AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento and members of the NYS legislature: Harry Bronson, Jessica Ramos, Carrie Woerner, Pat Fahy, Gabriella Romero, Michelle Hinchey, John McDonald, James Skoufis, Phil Steck and Didi Barrett

Thank you to Daniel McCoy - Albany County Executive and New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who’ve joined a growing number of state and local politicians urging Hearst’s corporate leaders to move forward and bargain fairly

92% of 1199SEIU IHSU voters voiced their rejection to @1199seiu.org's subpar contract proposal, which fails to address job security & AI protections, a living wage for hourly workers, & priorities that reflect the labor values 1199SEIU demands on behalf of its own members wbng.org/2026/06/18/1...

“After 28+ years in newspapers, I make roughly $47K a year. High school graduates earn an average of $43K a year. Our employer needs to invest in us.” - April Helms, Akron Beacon Journal reporter Join the fight for sustainable news by signing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...
