.@RahChaChow and I began delivering this to @DandC advertisers over the weekend and will be approaching more in coming days.
Spread the word far and wide! 📣 📣 JOURNALISTS DESERVE A LIVING WAGE! Enough time has been wasted. Let's get a fair deal done, @Gannett. We want a #faircontractnow!
A few thoughts on our visiting reporters, photographers. I do feel for them because many are younger Gannett staffers who probably were given the choice of job loss or scabbing. (If any came enthusiastically, that's another story.) ... (1/5)
When we unionized here in Sarasota in 2016 there were 38 of us. Now there are 19. Gannett, stop starving local news.

We're sick of Gannett's bad faith bargaining, from stalling to regressive language to status quo wage proposals. We're not the only ones—journalists in Rochester are on strike now. We are tired of waiting, and are declaring our willingness to strike for a fair contract.
A friendly reminder that Reed's pay is SEVENTY SIX TIMES that of the average worker at Gannett, who gets paid just $50,856 each year.
Also in the past year while our CEO’s salary shot up 14%: The Detroit Free Press has gone without a higher education reporter.
Also in the past year while our CEO’s salary shot up 14%: The Detroit Free Press has gone without a higher education reporter.
While CEO Mike Reed got a raise last year, Gannett’s last salary offer to our newsroom staff at the bargaining table included a *lower pay scale* than we have now.
Not-so-friendly reminder that @Gannett proposed a pay scale that starts at $40K for new employees and goes up to $50K... after TEN years of service to the company. This is why we're fighting for better. We have to.

When will Gannett pay its workers a living wage? They talk about caring for workers but their actions show that words are wind.

Never got a pay increase of any kind in my three years at gannett. Only changes to my compensation was reduction of my 401k contributions to zero, the elimination of my friend’s jobs, and vague promises of better things to come. Salary was 35k btw

Will Gannett stay true to its word and reinvest in local journalism and local journalism jobs?

roses are red violets are blue seventy five percent of the asbury park press staff can’t afford a two bedroom apartment but gannett thinks a forty four thousand dollar salary floor is fair and i love you @appmcjguild @GannettUnion #GannettGreed

793 Followers 67 Following Representing workers at @northjersey, @dailyrecord and @njherald | on a journey✨Update, in brief: even after 2 years’ experience of duplicitous bargaining by Gannett, we were floored by what they pulled today. Inserting new language into agreed-upon sections and hoping we wouldn’t notice. We did, and so there’s no contract. 1/
Please listen the latest on our strike part 1
.@RahChaChow and I began delivering this to @DandC advertisers over the weekend and will be approaching more in coming days.
More than a dozen of our colleagues were laid off yesterday. We're devastated and outraged for them. We demand answers from management – why are these cuts necessary during record profits and how many more will there be?
Very grateful to @uglyduckcoffee for dropping off some hot coffee on this windy day! 🌬☕️👏🏼
Striking and smiling are a bit easier today with delicious sandwiches and salad for lunch. Thank you so much, @FoodlinkNY!
✊✊✊
We do appreciate media coverage of the movement for public power, but we don't give interviews to scabs!
Spread the word far and wide! 📣 📣 JOURNALISTS DESERVE A LIVING WAGE! Enough time has been wasted. Let's get a fair deal done, @Gannett. We want a #faircontractnow!
A few thoughts on our visiting reporters, photographers. I do feel for them because many are younger Gannett staffers who probably were given the choice of job loss or scabbing. (If any came enthusiastically, that's another story.) ... (1/5)
1/ The Palm Beach Post and Daily News newsrooms have lost more than 45 employees since we unionized in 2020. Many of those folks have not been replaced.
We're sick of Gannett's bad faith bargaining, from stalling to regressive language to status quo wage proposals. We're not the only ones—journalists in Rochester are on strike now. We are tired of waiting, and are declaring our willingness to strike for a fair contract.
A friendly reminder that Reed's pay is SEVENTY SIX TIMES that of the average worker at Gannett, who gets paid just $50,856 each year.
The biggest of "solidarity forever"s to my Gannett Regional Union siblings at @rocnewsguild, who unanimously authorized a STRIKE if management doesn't settle on a fair contract by midnight Saturday.
TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE NEWS: With 96% of the unit voting, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle & Canandaigua Daily Messenger journalists @rocnewsguild unanimously authorize a STRIKE over Gannett’s unfair labor practices if a contract isn't agreed on by EOD Friday.
Also in the past year while our CEO’s salary shot up 14%: The Detroit Free Press has gone without a higher education reporter.
Last week, Gannett CEO Mike Reed said the @newsguild "plays dirty." Meanwhile, according to new SEC filings, Reed was awarded a 14% raise last year while the median pay for employees dropped by 3.4%. bizjournals.com/boston/news/20…
While CEO Mike Reed got a raise last year, Gannett’s last salary offer to our newsroom staff at the bargaining table included a *lower pay scale* than we have now.
Not-so-friendly reminder that @Gannett proposed a pay scale that starts at $40K for new employees and goes up to $50K... after TEN years of service to the company. This is why we're fighting for better. We have to.
While CEO Mike Reed got a raise last year, Gannett’s last salary offer to our newsroom staff at the bargaining table included a *lower pay scale* than we have now.
Gannett's CEO Mike Reed got a 14% raise last year while the median pay for employees dropped by 3.4%. Corporate greed is killing America's newsrooms and destroying our democracy. bizjournals.com/boston/news/20…
Never got a pay increase of any kind in my three years at gannett. Only changes to my compensation was reduction of my 401k contributions to zero, the elimination of my friend’s jobs, and vague promises of better things to come. Salary was 35k btw
Gannett's CEO Mike Reed got a 14% raise last year while the median pay for employees dropped by 3.4%. Corporate greed is killing America's newsrooms and destroying our democracy. bizjournals.com/boston/news/20…
Our newsroom has 4 rank-and-file jobs (~13% staff) open, some for nearly 2 years. Meanwhile, Gannett raised our metric "goals," and expects us to meet them with less people. If you believe they're actually going to hire journalists with AP savings, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Roberts: “We create more journalism every day than the AP. This shift will give us the opportunity to redeploy more dollars toward our teams and build capacity where we might have gaps.” Must be seen in context of continual cuts in Gannett newsrooms by investment fund ownership
Gannett should be hiring now to build newsrooms that can hold power to account. Instead, they’ve cut thousands of local news jobs.
News: Chief Content Officer Kristen Roberts announced the elimination of the use of Associated Press in all publications as of March 25. confirmed by two gannett journalists- first reported by @BenMullin A blow to AP and readers.
fyi: i am keeping an eye on the @EddieSpeir developments with IRS complaints filed and i’m in touch with them regarding that however, as of this afternoon i’m on bereavement leave tbd if ill be at @sarasotaschools for tomorrow’s board meeting (if i’m not, now yall know why)
