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!

Our joint statement with the company:

[Laura Nichols @RochNichols]

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.

[Newspaper Guild of Rochester @rocnewsguild]

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. ✊✊✊

@PaulyGoogs Something to consider: https://t.co/cSAzvaQ0EM

[Gary Craig @gcraig1]

Is there a print newspaper equivalent of hitting for the cycle? If so, ⁦@salmaiorana⁩ is pretty close here.

[Tracy Schuhmacher @RahChaChow]

The @rocnewsguild is still fighting for a fair contract ⁦@Gannett⁩. (Photo taken yesterday between raindrops.) #roc #faircontractnow

[Rochester & Genesee Valley Area Labor Federation @RGVALF_AFLCIO]

[Thomas P. DiNapoli @NYSComptroller]

.@Gannett still has not reached an equitable agreement with the members of @rocnewsguild. I continue to urge a resolution that benefits workers, the community and the company.

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.
