It's not sweater weather yet ... 🍂 We're wearing red AP News Guild T-shirts today as we fight for a #fairAPcontract
Under The Associated Press's contract proposal, guaranteed raises would end after just three years. Our AP News Guild proposal would raise pay after 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years, beginning to make up for years of declines as inflation soared past our salaries.
The AP is now ordering us back to office for more days. That’s top of a contract offering us only 2% raises and eliminating night and weekend differentials. AP News Guild will keep fighting for a deal that attracts and keeps the best journalists.
More than half the planet sees The Associated Press news every day, and these are some of the people who make that possible 👇 we're wearing red on another #TshirtTuesday for a #fairAPcontract AP News Guild
"Dear AP: Can you pawlease give my best friend a #fairAPcontract to account for the rising cost of peanut butter? Thanks." AP News Guild #TshirtTuesday

Some fellow AP News Guild members who agree: The Associated Press's contract proposal is 👎👎👎 #fairAPcontract
The median asking rent for the top 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas has swelled nearly 25% over the past four years. But The Associated Press's only offering us 2% wage increases. We report on these rent increases, yet struggle to pay our own. #DoBetterAP #WageWednesday
