Everyone on the picket line: “Ugh, when’s the pizza getting here, all this standing around is exhausting”
Gary Craig is on Strike, the only one with a notepad, still wearing khakis: “brb, going to clerk’s office then meeting with three sources, will file by 2:15” 🤨

Was great to visit friends and former ⁦Democrat & Chronicle⁩ colleagues on the picket line today. I believe journalism is a noble calling and vital to our community. I wish that @gannett felt the same way, and hope they’ll return to the table and get a fair deal done.

We were proud to support striking workers from Newspaper Guild of Rochester at a rally Wednesday outside the D&C. #Solidarity #UnionStrong #SupportLocalNews

Strike day 1️⃣4️⃣ and no let-up in sight ✊✊
Got a free minute today? Email our executive editor at [email protected] and tell him it’s unacceptable to go a full week without bargaining during a strike. We’re ready to negotiate, but we can’t do it alone! gofundme.com/f/support-unio…

Putting aside literally everything else - having James sidelined while Section V sports are happening is a travesty. The man is a legend and absolutely irreplaceable.
