🧵 (1/8) Companies like Sound Publishing are now required to post salary ranges in job postings thanks to a new pay transparency law. We’re grateful for the new law, but frustrated at the dismal starting wages and even lower pay for some existing Everett Herald employees.

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…

Congrats to our newsroom on their SPJ awards 🎉

The Daily News just made the change to printing three days a week. The rollout so far has not made us less worried about Lee's short-sighted moves and lack of real investment in our staff. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

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

The Longview NewsGuild writes to support the Everett NewsGuild ✊ through today's picket and the rest of their contract negotiations with the paper's new owners. The actions taken by Carpenter Media last week show the need for strong contract protections in Everett.
