The ghost of guild fights present wants to know: “Why did you destroy everything we’ve built?” Atlantic DOT Guild 🌊

Mike, will you awake tomorrow, see the error of your ways and begin supporting community journalism? JK, we know you’re too busy counting your gold!

I’m an editor at Gannett. This week, I’m on mandatory furlough. That means anything I post here is from me and doesn’t represent my employer. To wit: Companies should pay their employees what they agreed to pay them.

They formed unions instead of working overtime for you for free 😈

When newsrooms say producers perform “DOT magic,” this thread is an example what they mean: Beyond our regular work, we’re the go-to problem solvers. And yet Gannett thinks we’re expendable because of basically one flawed metric?

Striking works. Fort Worth journalists get a contract and $50,000 salary floor for new hires: texasobserver.org/striking-does-… #UnionStrong APP-MCJ Guild 🌊 Atlantic DOT Guild 🌊

If you look closely, you’ll see a whole bunch of solidarity ✊

Gannett is once again pulling the same nakedly anti-labor move it pulled on the Midwest Digital Guild, laying off people in the midst of their union election This company is afraid of its labor, and they couldn’t be handling it in a worse way. Solidarity forever, Reviewed Union 🌊 ✊

“I solve problems” An unofficial DOT motto, and a skillset Gannett is trying to throw away

A union isn’t a service you subscribe to. A union is a decision to stand with your colleagues and fight to make your lives better.

Roll call! Raise a fist if your unit was one of them ✊

THREAD: In July, Danny LoGiudice asked for a well-deserved raise. He's not just a great local sports reporter, but his work is successful, according to Gannet's own metrics. Danny's been working for APP & MCJ since 2015. He makes $37,000 per year. #WeToldYouSo (1/8)

It’s Valentine’s Day — but we’re brokenhearted. In the 2+ years since our contract with Gannett expired, we’ve lost more than 20 guild members.

We LOVE to see another Gannett shop walking out Get it together, Gannett. Bargaining fairly and in good faith

Okay, NorthJersey.com. Though as a subscriber, I think today is also a great day to pay Melanie Anzidei, Megan Burrow, Colleen Wilson and the rest of The Record staff more. | From the Editor: Now's a great time to subscribe to .NorthJersey.com northjersey.com/story/news/col…

Woah crazy

Like the rest of NJ, the Rutgers roots in our unit (and Gannett Regional Union 🌊) run deep. Many of us learned journalism from RU faculty, adjuncts and part-time lecturers like the ones with Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union who are on strike right now. #RUonStrike

Today is the day! Join us in Asbury Park at 1 pm! #UnionStrong ✊

Our journalists can’t afford to live in the communities they cover, because Gannett won’t give raises or approve contracts that pay living wages. Invest in your journalists and invest in news, Gannett! Gannett Regional Union 🌊 NewsGuild of New York
