Today, @chicagotribune laid off five guild staff members in a roughly 10% cut to our newsroom. These layoffs underscore a sad but unsurprising failure of leadership by Alden Global Capital, our hedge fund owner, and local management.

ANOTHER BIG GANNETT WIN: @therecordguild has won a historic first contract, lifting long-stagnant wages by over 25% on average, and averting a planned walkout. More here.... nyguild.org/post/breaking-un…

We don't have an Albany reporter, we don't have a metro editor -- but the brain trust at Alden Global Capital saw fit to spend money on a "content intelligence program" whose artificial intelligence might be in the running for the worst editor we've ever had.

We’re back at the table with Alden this week. We are fighting for serious, impactful journalism done by the folks who live here that you know and trust.

Our employer wants the power to replace our reporters with AI. Today, we’re reminding our newsroom leadership that our people are our strength.

A worker-led local newsroom, you say?! Stand with and support @51stnews as they work to launch a local news outlet in Washington, D.C.!
🧵 When DCist was shut down, we watched as so many of you mourned the loss of a vital local news source. A team of us got to thinking: What if we could create an outlet controlled by us (the journalists) and you (our community)? No executives involved.

Carpenter Media Group’s vision for the future of the @EverettHerald isn’t pretty. What we’re hearing in negotiations is “double your productivity with half the staff.” Yet the company's starting wage offer is still less than $20.

Today we were supposed to return to work after the conclusion of our 3-day Unfair Labor Practice strike. We were looking forward to getting back to our jobs and to supporting NEA members.

Rest in power, Jane
We're very saddened to hear about the passing of Jane McAlevey, a true legend in labor organizing. May her memory be a blessing. Her lessons certainly are.
