Did you know strike pay is taxed? Right now, several Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh ๐ strikers are facing steep bills from the IRS. If you're able, please donate to the Pittsburgh Striker Fund
We will continue to hold the employer to account & we will never give up on our union

I strongly support the importance of local journalism and the Newspaper Guild of Rochester in their efforts to be treated fairly by the D&C. So I declined an interview with someone brought in to do their work.

Couldn't be prouder to be a part of labor history by forming a staff union with my coworkers 1199SEIU๐ซ
#UnionsForAll NewsGuild-CWA Washington-Baltimore News Guild
Itโs DAY SIX of our strike!
Find us in front of the Democrat & Chronicle and show your support for your local journalists ๐ช๐ฝ๐ช๐ฝ

Today we, 1199 In House Staff, asked 1199SEIU๐ซ leadership to live our union values, listen to the voices of a #supermajority of staff and voluntarily recognize our union! Weโre organizing our workplace to make sure that everyone who works at 1199 feels represented and empowered.
Disappointed in the out-of-state scab editors currently manning the Democrat & Chronicle for missing this scoop. Or maybe - just spitballing - thereโs some value in having experienced local journalists who know their community? ๐โ
We're so grateful to you all for getting our strike fund up past $18K. Every extra dollar lets us fight longer.
Here's an offer: anyone who donates $100 or more before noon can get a free signed copy of either my book or one of Gary Craig's two books.

Yesterday's eclipse strike showed the power union journalists hold when they withhold their labor.
But we're not done yet. While Austin NewsGuild returns to work today, Newspaper Guild of Rochester, @lbmguild, & @pghguild remain on strike.
