🚨Tribune journalists are WALKING OUT.🚨
Today, 230+ journalists from Orlando to Chicago are striking for 24 hours to send Alden Global Capital a message: after 5 years of bargaining, it’s time to give workers the contract they deserve.
It’s time to end #AldenAusterity.

Our 24-hour strike has begun.
For the first time in 50 years, @washingtonpost workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.
The MinnPost Union supports the employees at Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit news outlet, that announced last week that they are unionizing. They produce important journalism and deserve the protections of a union while having democracy in their workplace.
We love @WisconsinWatch and want to help make it the best it can be. Unionizing allows us to live into our values of fostering an improved citizenry and strengthening democracy. #WeMakeWisconsinWatch

Today we're joining @WGAEast in demanding the Marion County Police department be held accountable for its raid of the Marion County Record in Kansas.
ALT Screenshot of statement that reads: Joint Statement on Police Raid at the Marion County Record / The Writers Guild of America, East and The NewsGuild-CWA demand the Marion County Police department be held accountable for its raid of the Marion County Record newspaper in Marion, Kansas. The officers and officials who seized computers, phones and other data from reporters and the newspaper’s offices engaged in activities that are an affront to the constitutionally protected rights of journalists and news media workers. Press freedom is a cornerstone of our democracy that is enshrined in the First Amendment of our Constitution and our unions will do everything to protect and preserve a free and independent press.

We stand in solidarity with striking members of @sagaftra who are demanding respect and fair compensation for their labor. We know what it's like to go on strike and North America's media workers will be telling your stories from the picket line.
MinnPost Union supports guild members at Crosscut who are fighting against layoffs and restructuring that will eliminate positions doing essential journalism.
Yesterday, Crosscut’s parent company (@CascadePubMedia) announced it intends to lay off five newsroom employees, effective July 1, and replace them with additional video and podcast producers.

Recent actions taken against MinnPost reporter and Guild member @CallaghanPeter by @mnhouseDFL are unacceptable. Minnesotans deserve better from their elected representatives. Our statement: mnguild.org/callaghan-suppor…

NO CONTRACT, NO CLICKS! You won’t be getting your Prime Day deals from @WIRED unless WE get a deal with management for a fair union contract - and today is our last scheduled day of bargaining before Prime Day… so it's time for a fair contract!
