In three similar, previous cases, juries had deadlocked.

The sun is shining and we're preparing to head back to the bargaining table this morning. It's time to make sure Hearst knows that San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate workers are #WorthMoreThanOnePercent ! ✊ NewsGuild-CWA @pacmediaguild

EXCLUSIVE:

Two men from Honduras accused of dealing drugs in San Francisco avoided convictions after their lawyers argued they were not criminals but human trafficking victims. Prosecutors rejected the argument, but juries were split

SF pub defenders have begun testing a legal theory that has long circulated in the city's progressive circles: That some people selling drugs here are human trafficking victims.

2 recent cases went to trial, but juries were unable to reach a verdict.

So pumped to be part of this badass team! Ready to fight for the contract our hard-working journalists deserve.

The numbers speak for themselves. Chronicle and SFGate workers stand ready to fight for a contract with fair wages! In a recent survey conducted by the Guild, 92% of members said they are unwilling to accept Hearst's bare-bones offer on wages.

My story: After Southwest lost my family’s luggage on Christmas, we started monitoring the car seat with its AirTag. What we saw wasn’t promising.

Doing another #AirTag / tracker story, Southwest Airlines edition. Anyone out there with stranded luggage tracking your stuff? If so what are you seeing? Please comment or DM if you’re willing to chat!

Hey Southwest Airlines, please tell me you’re guarding the stranded luggage. Bc I’m tracking my kid’s car seat and today it moved from the STL airport to a random house in Riverview Gardens… 😕

Is anyone out there a master at searching Pacer for bulk data? Advice = booze!
