In a meeting that lasted less than 15 minutes this afternoon, @Gannett announced mandatory furloughs at the holidays, buyouts, freezing our 401(k) match and stopping hiring. No details. Very little info on timeline.

I think most of us are either speechless or swearing rn.

When I asked OC candidates in March how they'd vote on gay marriage if it came before them, Michelle Steel and Young Kim refused to say. (Steel insisted the issue would "not be coming before Congress.") Today, both voted against the marriage equality bill. https://t.co/QFGdw9oFrr

About a month ago, our union proposed an interim agreement to SCNG management to raise our mileage reimbursement from 40 cents a mile to the IRS rate of 58.5 cents a mile. Since then, the federal rate increased from 58.5 cents to 62.5 cents a mile.

I always see this sign on my way home from my third job and it’s killing me. McDonalds starting pay is only 83 cents/hour less than what I make after more than 21 years as a newspaper journalist. 🗞💰In case anyone was wondering why I’m leaving a job I love.

When Anaheim canceled the Angel Stadium sale this week, the council asked Angels officials to agree that the deal was void. Angels officials did that tonight. It's over, and without a legal fight: https://t.co/0l5UHeoWRr
