Great to see other media taking notice of what's happening with @LeeEntNews' disgraceful sale of the @thesouthern Illinoisan, which would eliminate all local newsroom jobs, including 10 @sinewsguild journalists. wsiltv.com/news/top-stori…

We need your support! @EverettHerald continues to deliver award-winning journalism, but the people who produce that journalism cannot afford to live in the community they cover. If you believe journalists deserve a living wage, sign our petition today! tinyurl.com/5n7w22jd
The Denver News Guild is proud to announce that we ratified a contract with Denver Post management on Friday and our hardworking journalists will receive a 6% raise over the next two years! It's about damn time we are rewarded for our work. #UnionStrong
A friend of mine got a show picked up by Netflix. There was no money in his budget for a writing staff. “I don’t want to write every script myself,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of tv. Other voices make the show better.” “Oh yeah, totally,” said Netflix. “Here’s what you’ll do: 🧵
This @daily_montanan headline summarizes the bad decisions taken by @LeeEntNews to cut people and product and expect big payoffs. “Anyone with business acumen can tell you this is not how you grow the business long term," says @mtnewsguild Victor Flores. dailymontanan.com/2023/07/09/uni…
“We can’t or shouldn’t do more with less.”
Something has to change. @LeeUnions launched a campaign to highlight the cuts by the company and how it's preventing communities from getting the news they deserve. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness newsguild.org/lee-enterprise…
For those don't remember, @LeeEntNews eliminated roughly a quarter of its @OWHnews Omaha World-Herald newsroom staff earlier this year. @owhguild #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

Journalists across the country are speaking out this week against destructive business decisions by media chain Lee Enterprises. Chronic disinvestment and @LeeEntNews' latest move to slash daily printing of many newspapers is a recipe for failure. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness
Last night, @SeattleTimesCo publisher @fblethen participated in a forum to discuss saving journalism. Our members gathered out front and shared our ideas — namely, fair pay and equal rights for all members. Please sign our petition to show your support: bit.ly/stunionpetition
L.A. Times management’s decision to blindside the Guild with proposed layoffs as it neglects bargaining sends a clear message: You don’t care about the contract — or us. 🚨Our open letter to management🚨 latguild.com/news/open-lett…
STATEMENT: The Star-Tribune on Sunday announced we're going down to a three-day print week. We were also told we're losing our last customer service representative. Here's the Casper News Guild's response.
'Last year, despite business pressures, the Star made nearly $9 million in profit on $34 million in revenues.' - tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/0…
From our co-chair, @BrettBFrench: “@LeeEntNews’ total savings from this evisceration of local reporting will add up to only $205,000. Lee's upper management makes five to 10 times as much in one year: investors.lee.net/node/18106/htm… Something has to change. This system is broken.”

It didn't work. Now, we are closer than ever to getting justice for our members despite the PG's brazen efforts to crush us.
Today, The Press Democrat is hosting a Celebration of Award Winning Journalism. We appreciate this recognition. But we also need better wages and working conditions. That’s why we are attending today’s event in Guild t-shirts and encouraging guests to support local journalists.
We have reached an agreement with @SeattleTimesCo on a new deal. 🎉 We’re so proud of our bargaining committee, mobilizing team and all the members who participated in organized action and advocated for our wins. More details TK after members ratify the contract next month.
@mtnewsguild @LeeEntNews We need journalism in Great Falls more than ever. Thank you for your commitment.
@mtnewsguild @LeeEntNews Sorry to hear this. You have the sympathy and support of the @owhguild which feels your pain.
Thinking of our Lee colleagues across the state today. What's happening to Montana's local news is devastating for everyone and these companies need to be held accountable.
We’re devastated by today’s news that six of our members were laid off. We were cautiously optimistic that @LeeEntNews was starting to realize the importance of investing in local journalism, but today proves Lee only cares about short term profit margins.
$16/hr at 37.5 a week is even worse. Though the probability of journalists working more hours than that and the company getting free labor from those employees is 100% x.com/mtnewsguild/st…
Adams has kept its journalists under 40 hours a week since the pandemic, and it’s held steady at a slap-in-the-face 37.5 hours per week for about two years. A fair contract for our Bozeman friends is the least Adams could do.
@PublishingAdams used a global pandemic as an opportunity to seemingly permanently cut their employees' hours. Now, they want to offer @bozchron journalists a minimum salary of just $16/hour.

I helped organize both these unions lmfao 😈
Proud of these journalists for trying to protect their already stripped newsrooms. ✊🏼
We and the other @LeeEntNews unions sent a letter this morning to Lee’s board of directors urging them to decline Alden Global Capital’s offer. It’s hard the overstate the importance of this ownership battle. #SayNoToAlden
@AshleyNerbovig @Missoula_Indy @jordyhansen @mtnewsguild @billingsgazette Oh I definitely appreciate their work! I just also wish Missoula still had a "rude media" option, as this article puts it. (And centralized event listings). newrepublic.com/article/155627…
I’m loving* this new trend of media corporations extending new benefits to everyone but their unionized employees (even though it’s what we asked for during bargaining last year) *extremely hating.
Sunday is National Parents' Day. In the guilds, we've pushed @LeeEntNews to offer better parental leave so ppl can spend crucial time with their newborns. Corporate listened + boosted its leave — BUT doesn't want to extend it to us unless we sacrifice other protections we've won.
Louder for the people in the back! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
When we want @LeeEntNews to allow locals to retain control of our newsrooms/newspapers, this is decidedly *NOT* what we mean. All our best to @mtnewsguild, who had nothing to do with this monstrosity. Lee needs to get its publishers’ shop in order.
What in the hell is going on at the Billings Gazette, man
Big sympathies with the rank-and-filers at @mtnewsguild. Good lord.
The Longview NewsGuild is a union by @the_daily_news staff, not outside parties. The repeated “third-party” rhetoric is inaccurate and ironic considering the @PacNWGuild is geographically closer to @the_daily_news than the news management team based in Wisconsin and Arizona.
