“ICE detention centers are effectively black boxes. They are deliberately placed in remote areas where they are out of sight from the public and difficult for families and legal representation to visit,” - @DaliaFaheid

Today, @mcclatchy employees were supposed to get paid.

But, bc of an apparent logistic issue, we didn’t. The company says it’ll be fixed by tomorrow, but for today the @FortWorthGuild is taking a lunch break together.

Our work has value, and we all deserve to be paid on time.

March 15.

Twelve years since Syrians took to the streets to demand freedom, only to be faced with a brutal regime willing to kill hundreds of thousands to remain in power and an intl community unwilling to take action in the face of mass atrocity and humanitarian crisis.

A Texas bill to prohibit counties from putting a polling place on college or university campuses was filed today.

In November, over 18,500 voters cast early vote ballots at college/university polling locations in Tarrant County.

[Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ @FortWorthGuild]

Today, @mcclatchy’s VP of news (@KLR_Editor) visited Fort Worth.

She held a celebratory lunch with a total of 24 invitees — and not a single person who participated in the @FortWorthGuild strike was invited.

[Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ @FortWorthGuild]

Big news:

We are back at work.

Over 24 days, the Fort Worth Newsguild protested @mcclatchy’s unwillingness to negotiate fair conditions and made history as the first Texas newsroom in modern history to go on strike. 🧵

[Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ @FortWorthGuild]

We’re entering our 4th week of striking against @McClatchy. We aren’t getting paid right now and our health care benefits were taken from us.

Please consider a donation to our strike fund to help our members as we continue this fight for a fair contract

[Eleanor Dearman @EllyDearman]

It’s week three of @FortWorthGuild’s strike. Me and my colleagues want to go back to work covering a community we care about, but @mcclatchy needs to do its part and bargain in good faith.

We meet at the table again on Wednesday. Let’s get this done. #StarTelegramOnStrike

[Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ @FortWorthGuild]

This is the @startelegram in our first full week before the strike. This is what your local newspaper is without the journalists who are striking (the second paper is from our sick out — none of us were working)

Does @mcclatchy care about our strike yet? @30bike @KLR_Editor

Company lawyers coming back with our proposals after taking 4.5 hours in caucus

[Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ @FortWorthGuild]

Thank you Rep. @ChrisGTurner for standing up for local news and sending this letter to our management. We agree, a fair contract impacts a lot more people than our workers. It affects our county.

“Know that we care and we are watching.”

“I have suspended my subscription to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and will not return as a customer until I feel these employees have gotten their due. I encourage other subscribers to do the same.”
@RepRamonRomero on the @FortWorthGuild strike. Thank you, Rep. Romero.

A couple of thoughts on having a stroke (bad), McClatchy (bad) and supportive coworkers and community members (good):

[Media Guild of the West 🧭 @MediaGuildWest]

McClatchy instantly started looking for replacement workers and cut the health care of a journalist recovering from a stroke, but can't be bothered to show up to the bargaining table.

This is what it looks like when Wall Street owns your local newspaper. https://t.co/UQ7gg7vc3c

[Emily Brindley @em_brindley]

Yesterday, the @FortWorthGuild asked @mcclatchy to come to the bargaining table immediately.

@mcclatchy's response? They're busy the next 2 days.

Apparently, playing a twisted game is more important than ending the first-ever strike in your company.

[Jess Hardin @jesslhardin]

On the first day of @FortWorthGuild + @startelegram strike, here’s what @mcclatchy did:

❌ locked us out of our laptops
❌ changed our OOO messages which explained we are on strike
❌ informed us our benefits will be revoked Nov 30
❌ started advertising scab jobs

[Candi Bolden @CandiBolds]

Hey it's your local journalist that needs medicine and medical care for a chronic illness. @mcclatchy wants me to choose between getting the medical care I need and being able to afford to live in Fort Worth. This is not ok.

[Poynter @Poynter]

More than 20 workers representing the vast majority of unionized journalists at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram went on strike today, claiming that owner McClatchy has refused to bargain with them in good faith.

#Texas has spent $26 million to bus about 13,000 migrants to NY, DC, Chicago — and now Philadelphia. That's $2,000/person for a bus trip. Update on this initiative from @James_Barragan via @TexasTribune https://t.co/EygchIS5eh
