The Omaha World-Herald is one of @LeeEntNews' major market news organizations and should treat it like one. The @owhguild deserves a contract with fair compensation now.

[Unions of Lee Enterprises @LeeUnions]

Professional journalists shouldn't have to struggle to pay for heat and food, but at @LeeEntNews papers in Wisconsin, that's what's happening. Pls. read this and consider signing their petition.

[Buffalo Newspaper Guild @BuffaloGuild]

Undaunted by rain, Guild members and friends were proud to again join @BNWaterkeeper's spring cleanup Saturday, along the Scajaquada shoreline. Everything from discarded bottles to abandoned construction material got hauled to the curb. We believe in protecting our community!

[Buffalo Newspaper Guild @BuffaloGuild]

After all the work to keep the @PittsburghPG alive, and the huge sacrifices made by @PGHGuild strikers, we hope the purchase of Post-Gazette by the parent company of the @BaltimoreBanner secures local journalism in Pittsburgh without harm to those who've given up so much for it.

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

We are very, very glad that @pittsburghPG is surviving! We’re eager to turn over a new leaf with new owners who value journalism, and respect Pittsburgh.

We’re also concerned by the @VenetoulisInst's stated intent to cut jobs.

[Unions of Lee Enterprises @LeeUnions]

Today is @LeeEntNews' annual stockholder meeting. Three weeks ago, we sent this letter to all of Lee's top executives regarding the company's short-sighted growth strategy and need to refocus. We received a response from no one, which says a lot about how the company is run.

Any discussion of AI in journalism should be done honestly. Don't brag that you're doing overworked journalists a favor by removing writing from their jobs. You've slashed the newsroom. You still need lots of content. You decide to employ a robot. Done. https://t.co/iWtFL8FA5l

[Buffalo Newspaper Guild @BuffaloGuild]

Since the owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette decided to shut down the paper instead of doing what's right and following the law, the efforts by the @PGHGuild and https://t.co/Pgi4wSr99w to keep strong journalism in the Pittsburgh community have been inspirational.

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

Much love and appreciation for @steelworkers VP of Administration Emil Ramirez on why we need https://t.co/xldZOnOMdU in this moment in Pittsburgh.

[Buffalo Newspaper Guild @BuffaloGuild]

So proud of our brothers and sisters with the @PGHGuild. It tells you something about the ownership of the @PittsburghPG that courts at every level have ruled against them repeatedly, but they keep feeding their lawyers instead of their employees and their community.

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

TODAY: The @PittsburghPG lost again. This time as the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court rejected a request to rehear the case in which it ordered the PG to pay workers back for the costs it illegally passed onto us, & restore the contract.

Even w/ the closure, the owners are on the hook.

On January 9, ICE arrested a member of our union, the Minnesota Newspaper & Communications Guild, as part of Operation Metro Surge.

He has been transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he is awaiting action on his petition for habeas corpus: https://t.co/IvM2R5c0Qi

Due to more cost cutting by Lee Enterprises, the Guild is saying difficult goodbyes to 4 more members: Dale Anderson, Toni Ruberto, Natalie Brophy and Jamal Harris Jr. (not pictured). We thank them for their contributions to The News and wish them well in their next chapter.

The lack of vision and competence from Lee Enterprises' executive team has been mind-numbing, and I worked at Tribune during the tronc era when executives were talking about feeding content into funnels to optimize it!
