Promises made, promises kept.

We are beyond thrilled to announce we overwhelmingly voted in favor of unionizing on a 22-4 vote.

We won.

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

We've experienced furloughs, layoffs and almost 30 journalists leave the CJ in the last 13 months. Coincidence? We think not!

Solidarity with all those affected by layoffs today.

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

We were informed today that the company is laying off around 7 percent of its workforce, and some of our members have been impacted.

We're furious at the way the company has approached these layoffs, and are currently discussing how to best serve those who just lost their jobs.

[Sunergos Workers Union @SunergosUnion]

WE WON OUR UNION ELECTION‼️

Now it’s time to bargaining for a fair contract that includes living wages, transparency from our employer, and the dignity and respect all workers deserve #solidarity #UnionsForAll

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

@SunergosUnion Congratulations!

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

Bet you can't guess which one we got from Gannett for Grinchmas

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

Poll time! How is your company treating you this holiday season? ☺️

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

Louisville is a union town!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Trader Joe’s workers in Louisville are unionizing with @TraderJoesUnite.

It’s the first store in the South to join the Trader Joe’s union wave.

If they win, they’ll be the third-ever unionized Trader Joe’s, joining stores in Massachusetts and Minnesota.

[Midwest Digital Guild @MidwestDOTGuild]

You may have heard that several talented digital journalists in the USA Today Network lost their jobs. On the Midwest DOT, that accounted for MOST of our team, and on the same day the NLRB was to mail us ballots...

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

If you're not in journalism but somewhere in the SEO, social media, digital world arena, feel free to let us know. Many of those laid off were digital journalists on digital optimization teams and probably have the skills you're looking for.

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

We've let the most recent #Gannett layoff news simmer for a few days.

Guess what?

We’re still livid that @Gannett thought it would be wise to cut scores of journalists — particularly those in our sister guild, @MidwestDOTGuild.

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

For those in journalism, here's a list of open jobs. If you happen to be following us + hiring + don't see the listing in the thread, please add it.

[Christine Fernando @christinetfern]

The Gannett layoff notifications have already begun. My heart is breaking for the incredible journalists who have started their days with this horrible, life-altering news. If you're able to help with community aid, please fill out this form. https://t.co/kbdi8USbob

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

@sherrijane58 @ladd_sarah @Ben__Tobin @courierjournal The KY Lantern is a completely separate newsroom, so no.

[Courier Journal Guild 🐝 @CJNewsGuild]

@jayoky99 @sanford_tim It includes photogs too, and a couple people didn't vote/send their ballots back in time. So it is a bit more than 26
