The Hartford Courant Guild

Getting smaller but still mighty. We are a few dozen Courant editorial staffers, covering our communities and fighting for the paper's future. #savelocalnews

[The Hartford Courant Guild @CourantGuild]

Big news for our joint table - after five long years of bargaining, we have a contract!

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Local news is tough work, but it’s an invaluable resource for communities. These journalists deserve a fair contract.

[Connecticut News Guild @CTnewsguild]

We, the journalists of Hearst Connecticut Media, are forming a union.

We ask that Hearst voluntarily recognize our unit so we may begin negotiating a contract that benefits all parties, including our communities.

We are not going away. Come to the table and stop playing games with our communities and our newspapers.

Alden is “siphoning out all the money off of the backs of all of these journalists who are living paycheck to paycheck… The corporate greed in media is out of control, and hedge funds are at the core of that corporate greed.”

[Sentinel Guild 🍊 @OS_Guild]

Tribune Publishing workers have been bargaining for 5 years for a fair contract.
But Alden Global Capital refuses to pay workers what they’re worth. Enough is enough. we’re walking off the job.

[Stacy St. Clair @StacyStClair]

Strike cakes paying tribute to our vampiric ownership.

Tribune journalists are striking today.

It is about race: Black & brown workers getting paid less than their white colleagues for the same - often times more - work is about race and it is NOT OKAY.

We want Alden to recognize that & to fix that. Pay us fairly.

[Washington-Baltimore News Guild @WBNG32035]

Workers @TidewaterGuild are on STRIKE today to protest Alden Global Capital’s refusal to pay them what they’re worth ✊

Strike day! Come out and see us at our old office:

[The Hartford Courant Guild @CourantGuild]

We had a lunchout today in solidarity with our fellow Tribune units who are walking out today to protest Alden Global Capital’s corporate greed and unwillingness to bargain in a reasonable manner. #AldenAusterity

@Mabuckley88 @royalpratt @DarcelTribune We can drive a stake through Alden’s venomous heart if we stand together. — @StacyStClair

[Chicago Tribune Guild @CTGuild]

We are here today because more than 200 Tribune publishing employees are walking out, an unprecedented action.

“Alden has proposed giving themselves the ability to cut our 401k… that amounts to a pay cut.” -@Mabuckley88

[Chicago Tribune Guild @CTGuild]

It’s a beautiful day for a strike.

We’re here outside the Freedom Center until noon, walking out for a fair contract.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Reminder that the Chicago Tribune Guild is on strike today. Don’t cross the @CTGuild picket line. Don’t click on Chicago Tribune articles.

[Chicago News Guild @ChiNewsGuild]

Tribune on strike! ✊✊✊ outside Freedom Center right now, fighting for a @faircontract for ⁦@tribdpsguild⁩ ⁦@CTGuild⁩ ⁦@GuildSuburban⁩ ⁦@TBContentGuild⁩

[The NewsGuild-CWA @newsguild]

Today’s walkout is the single biggest collective action journalists have taken against Alden since it purchased Tribune Publishing in 2021.

Under Alden ownership, newspapers aren’t dying. They’re being killed off.
