We’re grateful for @AP and the work our colleagues do to keep the wire running. We need a #fairAPcontract that thanks us back.

[AP News Guild @APNewsGuild]

Yesterday we escalated our push for a #fairAPcontract that keeps us strong. Hundreds of members took a short break to remind the company of our value. We know what we’re worth — and it’s more than a 2% raise.
