FOR THE RECORD: (1 of 2) In Bergen County, a living wage for a single person with no children is $55,120 annually. Over half of The Record Guild makes below that, with a shocking number (nearly a quarter of the staff) earning less than $40,000 annually.....

READY TO WALK: Our Record Guild members have voted to authorize a walkout, fed up with Gannett's refusal to agree to a fair contract with living wages, despite three years of bargaining. More here....

VIOLATING LAW: (1 of 2) Last week, @fortune.com laid off four of our members. Not surprisingly, @fortune.com refused to be transparent with the staff afterward. Because our members are still fighting for their first contract, these layoffs violate labor law. ...

Stand with unionized journalists and tell Gannett to stop destroying local news in New Jersey and New York. actionnetwork.org/letters/gann...

REALLY?: 🧵 Gannett has released its annual 10-K. Among our “favorite” eye-popping statements: “We believe our employees are our greatest asset and the foundation of our business is the people and employees who make our day-to-day operations possible.”..... investors.gannett.com/financials/s...

READY TO WALK: Our members at six Gannett newspapers in New York and New Jersey have had enough and voted by 95% to walk off the job. They are fed up with Gannett's disregard for labor law and refusal to agree to a fair contract after three long years of bargaining.

Today we joined more than 40 journalism organizations in signing this statement, led by @spj-posts.bsky.social, condemning the campaign underway in Washington to penalize independent reporting on the government and its activities......

Say it louder, for the people in the back: Diversity is strength. Our @forbesunion.bsky.social members deserve a contract that protects diversity and inclusion as well as eliminates pay inequity. Our members are tired of empty words from @forbes.com management.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: Our members at The Bergen Record just marked the 4th anniversary of going public. To mark this anniversary - still devoid of a first contract – our members took part in reply-all email action to let @northjerseynews.bsky.social management know: They are done waiting…

Right now, there is zero job security at @Forbes, and management likes it that way. ("At management's discretion" is their favorite phrase.) We need a contract that gives normal protections like guaranteed severance and mandatory heads-up before layoffs. #unionstrong

EMPTY WORDS: @forbes.com CEO Sherry Phillips has said she wants a reset at the bargaining table. We are still waiting for that reset, Sherry.

Strikers in the courtroom anticipated a brisk testimony. An hour and a half later, Lowe was answering one of Tewksbury’s questions with a lengthy explanation of why the PG desired total control over which employees would lose their jobs in the event of layoffs. Briskness had taken a beating.

BARGAIN NOW: Our Gannett members in New Jersey received major support from U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who wrote to CEO Mike Reed and the Gannett C-suite demanding the company settle contracts that provide livable wages and regular raises as soon as possible. Read here for more...

@forbes.com' new CEO Sherry Phillips says she supports a reset at the bargaining table. We could not agree more. Our @forbesunion.bsky.social members are long overdue to get their first contract. Let's get this done.

This !

Instead of doing the right thing by its @theathletic.bsky.social workers, @nytimes.com management is continuing the charade of pretending it operates separate newsrooms to keep a two-tiered system that disenfranchises Athletic workers. Read more from the Times Guild and Athletic organizing committee

Say it with us: Sports jobs are Times Guild jobs

Workers at The Post deserve better. Shame on Post CEO Will Lewis and shame on management's firing of dozens of employees just days into the new year.

We stand fully with our union family at @postguild.bsky.social

Shocked to learn the excellent Athletic staffers aren’t already in the Times Guild. This needs to happen now @nytimes.com Now more than ever, strong union protections are good for news workers and good for our communities. ✊🏼🗞️💯

“We need to ensure that The Athletic is a workplace where early-career journalists can grow and evolve alongside experienced journalists who have made The Athletic what it is today." Read more from the mission statement from the organizing committee at @theathletic.bsky.social

Hell yes to the workers at @theathletic.bsky.social for standing up and joining the NY Guild. ✊
