Hey @VerizonSupport I'm having a nightmarish time with with your billing. I can't get a human on the phone because my phone number has been been reassigned. Is there a human who can help?

Done.
It's day 4 of our ULP strike and we are asking for support from all of our home cooks out there! Hold the picket line with us by #NotCookingToday - stay off @nytcooking while we fight for just cause, fair pay and remote work protections.

Not acceptable @Gannett
Day 1,029 of @hvnewsguild bargaining and @Gannett lawyer within 20 minutes starts with scatological invectives and f-bomb laced screeds before ‘taking a break’ from ZOOM meeting. And this, folks, is how they slow roll a first contract. #contractnow #faircontract
I miss my Wordle, crossword mini, spelling bee, The Daily podcast and The Headlines podcast but supporting this strike is more important than them all.
We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.
The reason we wrote closings stories is to save people a trip. To inform that place is not an option. Save on gas. If it's going to be open for a while longer, use your gift cards. Readers always want to know WHY and are never satisfied with the answer. It's always complicated.

This drama is kinda funny to follow but I personally would feel weird taking a cake into a restaurant. I'd just order dessert or have cake at my house. Is this something people do often?
a nyc steak house staff ate an influencers cake he made for his friend after charging them a cake cutting fee + only giving them slivers of it and is now getting eaten alive all over their socials lmfaooo INSANE

Always good to see the Rochester food scene getting some national attention.

May I make a friendly suggestion to folks sending info to the media?
Please put the info directly in your emails. Do not send a press release as an attachment, particularly a PDF or jpeg.
I truly believe you'll get better results if ... 1/1
I was a fan of @DandC photogs for years before I joined the staff. Now I'm still a fan. Thirty years after joining the D&C, @sdowdphoto always is trying to bring a new and different perspective to each assignment. And he is so, so good at photographing food!
Shawn Dowd's powerful images have significantly contributed to the Rochester community for 30 years, providing Democrat and Chronicle readers with a unique perspective since 1994. democratandchronicle.com/sto…
So much respect for these folks! Glad to see them making progress.
BIG NEWS: The @PittsburghPG has broken federal labor law so viciously for so long that the @NLRB has filed for an injunction that, if granted, would go a long way toward holding the Block family accountable and returning a caliber of news to Pittsburgh this community deserves.
Congrats to them! Just pointing out that 5 months of bargaining for a contract is unheard of at Gannett. Rochester was just over 2 years and it took a strike to get us over the finish line. The two most recent contracts were bargained over 4 years. This should not be normal.
The Buffalo Newspaper Guild is proud to announce that its members at @TheBuffaloNews have ratified a new three-year contract with @LeeEntNews. We would like to thank the community for its support over the last five months of bargaining. buffaloguild.org/wp-content/…

This is great news but I also think the FOUR YEARS of bargaining should be noted. Four years of bargaining is not a reasonable length of time to negotiate a contract.
ICMYI: @PBNewsGuild & @swflnewsguild have reached a tentative agreement for their first collective bargaining agreement with Gannett after nearly four years of negotiations!
Highlights include: raises, AI protections, & enhancements to healthcare + 401k

Wow. I 100% relate to all of this, even though my job is not to be a critic and the food scene in #ROC is very different than in NYC. nytimes.com/2024/07/16/dinin…
