LJW Guild

We, the journalists at the Lawrence Journal-World, are forming a union to fight for the future of local news in Douglas County.

Today @newsguild members are on strike in New York, Texas and Pennsylvania. Join me in standing in solidarity with @NYTimesGuild @FortWorthGuild @PGHGuild @CWAUnion

[IAPE TNG/CWA 1096 @IAPE1096]

Whether it's solidarity in New York or Strike Santa in Pittsburgh, we support our @newsguild siblings. Here's how you can too: https://t.co/qbv1Tju7un

My favorite thing about unionizing is that it feels like unionizing

[The NewsGuild-CWA @newsguild]

Hey, NewsGuild members, can you beat this look?

We're giving a jacket or hoodie to a randomly-selected member who tags @newsguild in a photo wearing their best union drip! Grab a button/shirt/hat/pinky ring and tweet why you're happy to be in our union through this weekend!

[Jimmy Beard @JimmyForKansas]

Happy Labor Day from me and the rest of the team at Jimmy for Kansas!

Today isn’t just a day of rest, it’s a day to celebrate the labor movement that came before us and to reiterate our values that every Kansan deserves an economy that works for us! #ksleg #laborday

she’s a 10 but she cries at videos of union solidarity

[Melissa Stiehler @MelissaStiehler]

I mean, this is def about safety!!

but like in the @Starbucks would rather their workers not have a say in the conditions that keep them safe kinda way

not like the workers safety is a priority kinda way

Solidarity @SBWorkersUnited!! #1u

[CWA @CWAUnion]

Could this meeting lead to discipline? I want my union steward present. I know my rights. Until my representative arrives I choose not to participate in this discussion.

Happy International Workers' Day! As the LJW Guild continues to work on its 1st contract for the hardworking LJW reporters & copy editors, we'll be taking the next few days to put out statements from community members who recognize the important role unions play in the workplace.

Remember Justice Gatson, who was fired during the union busting campaign at the ACLU of Missouri?

Her and some other Midwest labor movement folks are hosting a #MayDay2022 discussion on workers rights! Check it out! #1u #UnionStrong

[The NewsGuild-CWA @newsguild]

Could the chance to win a Pulitzer get news orgs to be transparent about staff diversity? A week ago, 50+ journalism groups thought so and asked the Pulitzers to make reporting on demographics a requirement. Now, >160 groups have joined the call.
