AP News Guild has been bargaining with AP for more than a year. Today, as part of a collective action, I’m taking a short break with my fellow union members because we deserve a #fairAPcontract.

An Oklahoma man who was freed after being imprisoned for decades on a murder conviction says there are more cases like his. Ricky Dority used his pandemic relief money to hire a private investigator, who worked to free him. https://t.co/dk5uEBxmXe

The median asking rent for the top 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas has swelled nearly 25% over the past four years.
But @AP's only offering us 2% wage increases.
We report on these rent increases, yet struggle to pay our own. #DoBetterAP #WageWednesday

Some fellow @APNewsGuild members who agree: @AP's contract proposal is 👎👎👎 #fairAPcontract

The AP is now ordering us back to office for more days. That’s top of a contract offering us only 2% raises and eliminating night and weekend differentials. @APNewsGuild will keep fighting for a deal that attracts and keeps the best journalists.

[AP News Guild @APNewsGuild]

Under @AP's contract proposal, guaranteed raises would end after just three years.

Our @APNewsGuild proposal would raise pay after 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years, beginning to make up for years of declines as inflation soared past our salaries.
