We are forming a union at the Record-Courier. Here's why!

Tonight our union unanimously voted to ratify our first contract. In doing so we've made our workplace better and fairer for current and future Quartzians. Congratulations!

The Quartz Union has UNANIMOUSLY ratified our contract! The contract kicks in right away, and includes a number of important wins, from just cause to improved salary minimums and longer paid parental leave. So proud to be a part of the union and NewsGuild of New York. Unionize your workplace!

With NYT Wirecutter/The New York Times management refusing to come to the table to reach a deal, 100% of our unit will be striking from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. The best way you can support us is by boycotting NYT Wirecutter from 11/25-11/29: wirecutterunion.com/support-us/

We’re thankful for journalists, the unblinking eye who tell the stories of their communities, expose injustice, protect our democracy and – despite enormous obstacles – work to do it better every day. And we’re thankful for the readers who make it all worthwhile.

🚨Bargaining Update🚨 We’re excited to share we’ve reached a deal with management on our first contract! After 2 years of bargaining & a 5 day strike, we’ve secured an agreement that makes meaningful improvements to our working conditions. We came together to demand better & won!

We know health insurance costs rise every year, but imagine you’re told your rates are jumping 22% or FOUR TIMES the national average. That’s what some Chicago Tribune journalists now face. Here’s a thread on why that’s not only wrong, but illegal:

Breaking: 160 Workers at VICE Media agree to a new, three-year contract that 1) sets a minimum salary of $63,000 in 2024 2) improves severance pay and 3) prohibits non-disclosure agreements around sexual harassment complaints. wgaeast.org/vice-and-write…

Gannett workers deserve so much better. Here are some easy things to do immediately: * Pay a living wage * Keep company phones * Pay your union staff the federal mileage rate * Fire your union-busting lawyers

Exciting news for the Record-Courier NewsGuild. The NLRB ruled in our favor, and we will soon be voting our union in! Ballots go out NEXT WEEK and will be counted April 6. If you're up for 32 pages of heavy reading, you can read all about it here: nlrb.gov/case/08-RC-279…

I’m out in Pittsburgh to stand with all of our members here. The whole The NewsGuild-CWA stand with these workers. They are our family.

The newsroom workers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh, on Tuesday began a strike against the company. More details:

Tomorrow we hold power to account at the New York Times. Don’t use the app. Don’t click on the site. Read local news. Support public radio. Pull out a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak. Don’t touch the crossword. Support every worker fighting for a better world.

Over 1,100 New York Times workers are now officially on work stoppage, the first of this scale at the company in 4 decades. It's never an easy decision to refuse to do work you love, but our members are willing to do what it takes to win a better newsroom for all. #GuildStrong!

To our readers: We did not make this decision lightly. We are deeply committed to the success of the The New York Times. We also know that we produce our best work when we feel valued and are treated equitably. Thank you for standing by us today.

Solidarity with our The NewsGuild-CWA siblings at the NYTimesGuild who are WALKING OUT of the workplace today. The workers are asking YOU: ❌ Don’t read the New York Times ❌ Don’t share their articles ❌ Don’t play Wordle (or the crossword!) all-day today through midnight.

Lee Enterprises news execs haven't met even once w/ the staff of The Buffalo News since Lee Enterprises purchased Buffalo's newspaper 3 years ago. We asked @adrians_jason & Paige Mudd to make time this week when they are in town. They said they will meet with us in 3 or 4 months.

We’re bargaining today. Our last contract expired in 2017. There are many reasons why The Blade/Block Communications should negotiate in good faith so we can reach a deal soon. One of the most compelling: We keep losing great colleagues. 🧵

Thank you, John Seewer, for capturing AP and Plain Dealer Reporter Mark Gillispie so well. apnews.com/article/mlb-oh…
