@wapotechguild.bsky.socialReposted by @newsguild.orgWe returned to the bargaining table today after a months-long break, eager to finally hear management's first proposal. We've presented 25 proposals without a single response. Today we got theirs, and it was worse than we expected. 🧵(1)

At the table last week, we showed up to defend our healthcare — management is union-busting by refusing to bargain with us.
@newsguild.orgGREAT NEWS! Gov. Newsom signed a bill into law that creates tax credits to support journalism jobs in CA. This comes after local guild leaders & @rebuildlocalnews.bsky.social pressed him to do so.

@idahonewsguild.bsky.socialReposted by @newsguild.orgWe know your community — because it's ours too. Because of a decision made by corporate executives, there will soon be no one to tell you what's going on with education, transportation & so much more. And our journalists will soon be out of work. Here's how you can help them:
@newsguild.orgSolidarity from North America! ✊✊✊
