Our Denver local is hiring a full-time organizer. This person will support new workers form unions and guide them through the entire process up to a signed collective agreement. Apply here! https://t.co/n3rUNzav4Y
While we've been hard at work covering Omaha and Nebraska with fewer journalists than ever, @LeeEntNews has stalled our guild bargaining over our reasonable and modest requests for wage increases over the next two years. We're making some noise to get what we deserve.
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.
Been a while, but we've been busy! Since our last update, we've added *14* new bargaining units to our local - with more still to come. Non-profits and newsrooms, be on notice: your workers are organizing with @newsguild and WINNING! #unionstrong
Thank you Loveland City Council for moving last night to draft a letter in support of our guild! ❤️
Our elected reps see the importance of preserving Loveland's only paper, and we’re honored to have them stand beside us as we continue to seek recognition.
Congrats, @NoCoNewsGuild! Another group of brave editorial workers demonstrate why unionizing is crucial in media. Thank you for standing up for your colleagues and your community. We're certainly proud to stand with you! ✊
Loveland journalists are taking action to protect our community’s access to news by announcing that we are unionizing as the Heart of NoCo News Guild.
Here’s why we’re doing it:

We’re disgusted. “Can’t afford” 3 prep writers but we can afford TWO publishers who make 3x what those 3 prep writers make *combined*. Not to mention the stable of v-p’s.
More on @LeeEntNews later. Mike, you worked so hard for our readers. You will be a smash wherever you go.
Baby’s first contract: https://t.co/MgJz3XotpR
This was a battle with @LeeEntNews. Our bargaining committee worked very hard to get us a fair contract.
Big thanks to our amazing comittee members: @TomLutey@BrettBFrench@PhoebeTollefson @VictorFlores_BG @RobRogersBG
“There seems to be growing solidarity among journalists. Journalists are increasingly seeing the need to unionize. They’re seeing themselves as political actors even though that goes against so much of your training... It actually gives me hope.” ~ @VWPickard. #SaveTheNews
COLORADO newspaper circulation is down 56% since 2004. This is what happens if the journalism of @denvernewsguild and others goes away: https://t.co/Ec9A3fgBUK
Happy Labor Day from your friendly, neighborhood guild.
Our condolences to those who still have to work on Labor Day (Godspeed, @BGKord).
Might be a good day to unionize?

The Post-Gazette has illegally and unilaterally imposed working conditions onto the Guild and today we need your help.
By signing this quick and easy form, you can tell John Block and Allan Block that the Guild wants to return to the bargaining table. https://t.co/Rj6pp3LNZN
