@LeeEntNews If you don't treat your workers fairly, we're going to fight back until you do.

[Unions of Lee Enterprises @LeeUnions]

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.

[Josh Reyes @jdauzreyes]

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.

Solidarity!

This is a BFD. New York just passed a journalism jobs tax credit.

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

We are thrilled that the NLRB announced it’s seeking an injunction against the @postgazette. The PG could've avoided this by simply agreeing to dignified terms with us & our striking union siblings @cwaunion & PPPWU at any point in the last 18 months.. https://t.co/seqtrZTzse

[Omaha World-Herald Guild @owhguild]

Today we begin bargaining for our third contract with @LeeEntNews, corporate owner of @OWHnews. We are entering these negotiations with hope. But rest assured, we will continue the fight to #ProtectLocalNews. We live here, our families are here and we all need #LocalJournalism.

The Lee Enterprises annual shareholder meeting lasted 9 minutes and @BuffaloGuild was the only shareholder to submit a question to executives.

We asked, specifically, what investments Lee is making to improve its digital platforms? CEO Kevin Mowbray responded in generalities...

[Buffalo Newspaper Guild @BuffaloGuild]

We and @UMediaGuild represent workers at Lee Enterprises' largest news operations and are Lee shareholders. Today, on the day of Lee's annual shareholder meeting, we call on Lee to start investing in local news and in its digital operations. The company's future depends on it.

[Jon Schleuss @gaufre]

Corporate greed by media bosses is out of control.

[Chicago Tribune Guild @CTGuild]

Here’s how you can show your solidarity:

DO NOT click on stories at https://t.co/m1zKvUd4Bt
DO NOT engage with Trib social media accounts
DO NOT open and engage with Chicago Tribune emails and news alerts Thursday.
Respect our picket line by not crossing the “click it” line!

[Chicago Tribune Guild @CTGuild]

Chicago Tribune journalists are going on strike for 24 hours tomorrow for the first time in history.
@CTGuild has bargained for a fair contract since 2018.
Alden responded by offering functional pay cuts & fewer benefits despite the Trib's profits. We're done playing games.

[L.A. Times Guild 🦅 @latguild]

Statement from the @latguild on today's mass layoffs at the @latimes:

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

This represents more than 20% of the newsroom.

If you care about journalism -- local news, national news, international news -- every warning light should be blinking red.

[Omaha World-Herald Guild @owhguild]

@joan8904 @LeeEntNews @OWHnews @LeeEntNews still hasn’t provided us an official justification for their reasoning behind moving to west Omaha. But given how Lee tends to operate, this is a financial decision.

[Omaha World-Herald Guild @owhguild]

@joan8904 @LeeEntNews has decided to move the @OWHnews newsroom from downtown Omaha to about 10 miles away in west Omaha. The new space won’t be ready for at least a month, so we’ll be working from temporary locations until then.

[Omaha World-Herald Guild @owhguild]

@OWHnews @LeeEntNews This is our community too, and we will always work hard for our readers.

[Omaha World-Herald Guild @owhguild]

@OWHnews We are still bargaining the effects of the move with our corporate owner, @LeeEntNews , so we will have more to say on the details later. But for now, we are devastated to be leaving the heart of the city. Please continue to reach out with your stories.
