The staff of MinnPost, a nonprofit, nonpartisan enterprise providing high-quality journalism, is now a part of the Minnesota Newspaper and Communication Guild.
🚨Tribune journalists are WALKING OUT.🚨
Today, 230+ journalists from Orlando to Chicago are striking for 24 hours to send Alden Global Capital a message: after 5 years of bargaining, it’s time to give workers the contract they deserve.
It’s time to end #AldenAusterity.
More than 90% of eligible staffers have signaled their desire to be represented by the Texas Tribune Guild. Read more about our priorities in our mission statement here:

The MinnPost Union supports the employees at Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit news outlet, that announced last week that they are unionizing. They produce important journalism and deserve the protections of a union while having democracy in their workplace.
We love @WisconsinWatch and want to help make it the best it can be. Unionizing allows us to live into our values of fostering an improved citizenry and strengthening democracy. #WeMakeWisconsinWatch
