Good luck to my ⁦@therecordguild⁩ colleagues as they demand real, serious bargaining from ⁦@Gannett⁩. ⁦⁦@hvnewsguild⁩ is on Day 1,047. These hardworking and dedicated journalists deserve a fair contract and fair pay, fast!

Day 1,029 of @hvnewsguild bargaining and @Gannett lawyer within 20 minutes starts with scatological invectives and f-bomb laced screeds before ‘taking a break’ from ZOOM meeting. And this, folks, is how they slow roll a first contract. #contractnow #faircontract

Solidarity always ✊🏾
Our members are back at the table with @NBCNews, demanding a fair and reliable first contract. We built this union to fight for stability in a tumultuous industry — we're not settling for a contract that can be taken away at management’s whim. Union today, union tomorrow.

2 of the area’s best teams played a heck of a game yesterday & photographer John Meore was there to capture it. See his 70-plus photos as Nyack breaks tie to edge Rye. ⁦@RyeAthletics⁩ ,⁦@NyackHSAthletic⁩ Girls Lacrosse: Nyack defeats Rye 13-11 lohud.com/picture-gallery/sp…

Striking @Nyguild journalists and photographers in Rochester deserve a fair deal, one that recognizes the challenges of the industry.  I again urge @Gannett to work diligently towards an agreement that is fair to both labor and management.

More unethical shenanigans from Gannett: These two stories from @DandC & @statesman are nearly word-for-word identical, yet each story claims to have been written by the local paper. Plagiarism? Who wrote the article? And why is one of the papers lying about who wrote it?

This thread, from a co-worker on strike in Rochester.
It’s taken me a few days to figure out what I wanted to say about being on strike because of Gannett’s bad faith bargaining and unfair labor practices but today feels like the perfect day to speak up. 🧵1/?

Don't be a scab!
.@gannett is trying to hire temporary workers to fill the jobs of striking Austin American-Statesman employees. Please stand in solidarity with @statesman journalists and don’t take these jobs. You can support us by not clicking on @statesman sites or donating to our strike fund: gofundme.com/f/ubcyf6-austin… #SaveOurStatesman

These @dandc photogs - @sdowdphoto & @jgermano1 - have covered @RocRedWings opening day for the past 30 years. Sadly they won't be there today as they are on strike. The @rocnewsguild is on strike as @Gannett will not bargain in good faith and pay its staff fairly. #ULPstrike

Our colleagues in Austin deserve a living wage. Gannett should give them a fair contract NOW!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support us as we rallied in protest of @Gannett’s unfair labor practices! #SaveOurStatesman 🦇#StatesmanOnStrike

"You've reached the voicemail of Gary Craig. He is unavailable to take your phone call right now, because Gannett cut off his cell service. Leave a message after the STRIKE!"
Gannett has shut down my phone - I use it personally also - so will be checking back in through the day. Thanks to all for the shows of support with gofundme, with social media, with honks downtown. We're in this for the long haul, so your support is crucial.

Our CEO got an $876K bonus in 2023, our CFO got $603K, on top of their multimillion-dollar packages. Our newsroom lost staff and our community lost coverage. And @Gannett still drags its feet bargaining liveable wages and raises, which newsroom workers haven't seen for years!

Rochester needs journalists. @DandC needs journalists. We’re on strike because @Gannett somehow found funds to give CEO Mike Reed a 14% raise to $3.9M — but won’t even agree to $1/hr more for its frontline journalists. Corporate greed is killing our newsroom. @rocnewsguild ✊
