Last night we rallied outside the Schneps Media Queens Powerlist event to let attendees how unfairly management has been treating their employees. We continue to ask Josh and Vicki Schneps to drop their bogus challenges to our colleagues’ union eligibility! #SchnepsUnion

BREAKING: The NewsGuild and other organizations are petitioning the FCC demanding a freeze to a recent illegal order that effectively allows conglomerates to dominate the broadcast landscape. A legal challenge to the repeal is forthcoming.
"The FCC’s disregard for the law will inevitably lead to more job losses, less informed local communities and increased costs for every American," said NewsGuild President @gaufre.

Fantastic news!!! The Supreme Court declined to hear the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s appeal of a ruling requiring the company to pay back its workers for the cuts to pay, illegally implemented increases in health care costs & more. When we fight, we win!!! ✊✊✊
