Venetoulis Institute (@BaltimoreBanner) CEO Bob Cohn says decisions on job cuts had *nothing* to do with strike history.

% of scabs kept who publicly disavowed the union: 80

The Omaha World-Herald is one of @LeeEntNews' major market news organizations and should treat it like one. The @owhguild deserves a contract with fair compensation now.
Professional journalists shouldn't have to struggle to pay for heat and food, but at @LeeEntNews papers in Wisconsin, that's what's happening. Pls. read this and consider signing their petition.
Congrats to today's Pulitzer winners — not *just* the Guild folks.
FYI: The owners of the @BaltimoreBanner & @PittsburghPG began their PG tenure by canning members of the team that won a Pulitzer for Tree of Life coverage.
Why? They're union officers.

The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism has begun its ownership of the @PittsburghPG by cutting at least 40% of staff, and 80% of former strikers.
It is sad, vindictive, and does not bode well for what we’ve fought and hoped for, including the success of the PG.
We are very, very glad that @pittsburghPG is surviving! We’re eager to turn over a new leaf with new owners who value journalism, and respect Pittsburgh.
We’re also concerned by the @VenetoulisInst's stated intent to cut jobs.
You deserve coverage of the news you care about by human beings. Not AI slop.
Join @newsguild, support real journalists, and take the pledge to tell news organizations that you don’t want AI slop in the newsroom.

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…

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.
