READY TO WALK: Our members at six @Gannett newspapers in New York and New Jersey have had enough and voted by 95% to walk off the job. They are fed up with @Gannett disregard for labor law and refusal to agree to a fair contract after three long years of bargaining.
@maureendowd “ Trying to steal an election violates the Eighth Commandment.” In Catholic terms, I think you meant the Seventh Commandment - thou shalt not steal - rather than the Eighth - thou shall not commit adultery.
@MsAlphaMu When my mother died, I found the butter and ice cream tubs in her kitchen and the Tupperware in her shed. The thought that was her Depression-era upbringing, though!
After five years, @rocnewsguild has a contract. Among supporters, I'd like to particularly thank @AcctProgressive and @HancockTerry, who faithfully joined us in picketing. @RGVALF_AFLCIO members and former Democrat and Chronicle staffers also joined in.
NEWS: This morning our members unanimously ratified a new two-year contract, our first since 2019. It comes after more than two years of negotiations with @nyguild and a 19-day strike in April, the first in our history. ✊✊✊

On Thursday, @WSJ ran this ad on A-4, showing the great @ailworth in her element: fireproof clothes & safety gear, ready to run toward danger for the story. Dogged and fearless. The same day, @DowJones laid her off.
@ailworth would be perfect in any newsroom. Just look at her.
