Indianapolis Newspaper Guild, part of TNG-CWA Local 34070, represents newsroom employees of @IndyStar. We’re on a mission to safeguard local journalism.
Looks like @kayla_dwyer17 scooped us (😉) but it's true: After more than 3 years of bargaining, we've reached a two-year collective bargaining agreement with Gannett. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼
Pictured: Members of the bargaining team just after reaching a TA.
NEW: The overwhelming majority of workers at The Columbus Dispatch and Newark Advocate have announced the formation of the Dispatch News Guild.

BREAKING: We did win!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @PittsburghPG to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for for 3+ years.
Our @NYDNUnion members brought their fight for a fair contract to a Brooklyn pilates studio recently. Why? Watch this video to learn more about the connection to Alden Global Capital ....
We can’t produce fearless investigative journalism without job security and a fair contract. After almost two years of bargaining, we need your help.

Our @condeunion members have real questions about the future of the company and multiple issues that directly affect them. Instead of answering even one question, @CondeNast execs decided to instead play games - literally - during the meeting. Truly disgraceful
Ryanne was shot in the head for doing her job as a journalist.
When gov targets the press, it’s not just an attack on reporters—it’s a violation of the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.
We’re proud to join @ACLU_SoCal & @LAPressClub to demand accountability.
WE FIXED IT: Obviously our successful rally had an effect on @NYDailyNews management, who felt compelled to “write” an op-ed. Unfortunately it’s full of mischaracterizations and missing key facts. As journalists we couldn’t let that slide, so we got out our red pens…
NEW: In 91 years of NewsGuild history, we’ve never seen anything like this.
The NLRB is asking a federal court to hold the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in contempt for refusing to restore health care to striking workers.

As protests unfold in LA, journalists are reportedly being targeted with rubber bullets and tear gas.
The right to report doesn’t disappear in a crisis. That’s when it matters most.

Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @SteveEngelberg and @RobinSparkman91 asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.
📢 Call to action! Here’s a simple way to let all the BCI board members know that their union-busting tactics against our striking union siblings @PGHGuild is failing the company & wasting time/money. Send a pre-written letter or write your own! https://t.co/y9ogCsQ8N9
We requested the @PittsburghPG give the improved health care we recently won to all bargaining unit employees. To be clear, the 3rd Circuit Court already ordered the PG to do this. It’s just delaying in an attempt to deny its CURRENT employees health care.

Last week, a Circuit Court ordered @PittsburghPG to restore the health care it illegally took away years ago. It's a great sign we’re going to get everything this strike has fought for. Clearly, the Blocks need you to break this down for them.
Will you? https://t.co/bHuvsfMrGu
BREAKING: Today the 3rd Circuit Court enjoined the @PittsburghPG, ordering the company to — upon request — immediately restore the health care it illegally took away in 2020, and bargain with us.
This is an enormous win and the most consequential day of our entire strike.
It’s time @Gannett recognizes that there are no profits without journalists like our @therecordguild. Show @Gannett you stand with the workers…
https://t.co/37K81rR9og
SHOW OF SUPPORT: Our @therecordguild’s fight for a fair contract received the full support of the entire New Jersey House Democratic delegation today. They sent a letter to @Gannett CEO Mike Reed…
Hey @mikebloomberg, you're selling out retirees by slashing healthcare while Bloomberg INDG splurges to replace its lobby.
Are new floors and a fish tank more important than former workers with cancer, and strokes?
A new floor to walk on: paved with the backs of retirees.
