Exciting news! We’re asking Lee Enterprises to voluntarily recognize our advertising department’s petition to join our union. These folks work hard and we couldn’t do our jobs without them.
The pattern of cuts and disinvestment in local journalism by Lee Enterprises must end. The unionized newspapers of Lee Enterprises call on Lee to invest in local communities and in its print, digital and customer services for its own survival. Our statement: docs.google.com/document/d/1t9…
Hello all! We were back at the bargaining table today starting negotiations on our second contract! Building on last year’s efforts, our new proposals call for Lee Enterprises to invest in our newsroom. (1/3)
Thank you to Mallory and Don McIntosh for highlighting and spreading the word about this effort. Lee Enterprises needs to invest in local newsrooms so we can better serve our communities. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness
