We’re urging you to exercise the highest level of caution this weekend as the National Weather Service has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning for Saturday afternoon and evening across central and eastern Washington. #wawx

We have overwhelmingly voted to go on STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with McClatchy Media and its five Pacific Northwest newspapers.

Our demands are simple: Protections against AI and wages that keep up with inflation.

WA homeowners, farmers say their land is being stolen for data centers

Grant County Public Utility District has filed lawsuits to claim portions of homes and farms to build electric transmission lines. And this is likely only the beginning.

Last week, a massive fin whale got stranded on a Washington beach and died. Hundreds descended on Samish Island to see the endangered animal. And residents had a 40-ton decomposing carcass in their backyards.

NOAA wouldn’t move the whale. Now what?

[Seattle Times Union ⛰ @SeaTimesUnion]

We're back at the bargaining table, where @seattletimes management has rejected our proposal guaranteeing @SeaTimesUnion workers won't be replaced by AI.

Management's position is inexcusable.

We deserve a fair contract now — one with real job protections.

[Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild @PacNWGuild]

We are so proud to represent the first ever union newsroom in the state of Alaska! Congrats on their contract wins!

The Washington Post laid off its entire award-winning photo staff.

Every photographer, fired.

The WaPo photo staff has won 5 Pulitzers, including as recently as 2019.

With a newsroom that still has 300 journalists, how do you produce a daily report with…no photographers?

Reporters can do what AI can’t.

But @mcclatchy refuses to agree to ethical guidelines on its AI usage. With your support, we can ensure your local news is done by local reporters like these.

After just over a year of bargaining, @NoisyUnion employees at The Stranger, the Portland Mercury, EverOut, and Bold Type Tickets have just ratified their first-ever contract! 🧵

[Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild @PacNWGuild]

Today the unionized workers at the Bend Bulletin took to the street outside their office to get loud and demand the big bad Carpenter Media Group come to the bargaining table with proposals that make their jobs better, not worse. CMG has been trying to remove benefits that they already have but because these workers have a union, they don't have to let them. These journalists and photographers deserve a fair contract now!
