Many of our members are living paycheck to paycheck. But we’re willing to risk a day’s pay because we care deeply about each other and the future of local journalism. Please consider donating to help soften that loss. Overages will go to Committee to Protect Journalists. gofund.me/763f240f

We stand with our unionized colleagues at One Herald Guild 🏝, el Nuevo Herald and Bradenton Herald NewsGuild in their demand for a fair contract. The stalling tactics and lack of compromise they’ve seen at the bargaining table are the same classic McClatchy Media practices we’ve seen here. Enough.

Congratulations to our colleagues out west!

Our newest research project looks at local news union growth in: 📈 Local unions in a broader context of nat'l trends ✅ Success in union driving 💰 Role of ownership in unionizing 👥 Right-to-work states vs union-friendly By @JessAMahone: cislm.org/research/labor…

🚨 NEW: The NewsGuild-CWA reported that more workers joined in 2021 than in any year stretching back decades. Organizing in local news isn't new — so what's causing this surge in support? What are these journalists fighting for — and how effective is the collective action? 🧵

The journalists of the Fort Worth NewsGuild are on a ULP strike, effective immediately. Members of the Guild decided to strike with an overwhelming majority of support — 91% of signed members — because of McClatchy Media’s continued refusal to bargain in good faith.

It’s day 5 of our ULP strike picket. We’d rather be reporting the news but I guess McClatchy Media would rather waste time. Disappointing but not surprising. Please consider a donation to our fund as we move forward with our strike: gofundme.com/f/fort-worth-n…

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.

solidarity with the Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ and NYTimesGuild today! it's a scary time to be a journalist but unions are fighting for fair contracts for reporters, photographers and other newsroom employees. proud to be part of the Charlotte Observer News Guild 🐝

.Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ isn’t the only place McClatchy Media refuses to bargain with its employees. We submitted a health insurance plan that provides better coverage while saving employees **and** the company money Nov. 18. We’ve received zero response — a clear violation of our contract

Today, we came into WaPo’s so-called town hall with questions about recent layoffs and the future of the company. Our publisher dropped a bombshell on us by announcing more layoffs and then walking out, refusing to answer any of our questions.

One year ago, we were officially recognized! Happy birthday to us! 💜💛🐝

For years, bad management at Gannett has led to stagnant wages, unrealistic expectations for journalists and the gutting of local newspapers. Because we refuse to sit by as corporate charlatans strip our communities of coverage, we are unionizing at Gannett Georgia.

Education Week is unionizing! We are a strong majority of Education Week’s reporters, artists, researchers, marketers, engagement specialists, and much more. @NewsGuild CWA Washington-Baltimore News Guild cwalocals.org/edweek-union
