@newsguild.orgReposted by @jschleuss.com"Labor law currently...is working for the billionaire and the oligarch class and not for regular workers," said NewsGuild president @jschleuss.com on the @ricksmithshow.bsky.social.

@scottnover.bsky.socialReposted by @jschleuss.comUPDATE: After deciding this weekend to block Politico from riding on Air Force One, White House staffers called numerous outlets to ask one to fill the primary print slot for the out-of-town pool rotation. Each of those outlets declined to step in.
@jschleuss.comThe NewsGuild-CWA holds power to account. If a boss breaks the law, we will prosecute them all the way to the Supreme Court.
@pghguild.comReposted by @jschleuss.comNine years ago we told the Blocks they were going down a bad path. Today they hit the end of the road as the Supreme Court joined a very long list of people who also told them so. Humble appreciation to everyone who worked to hold the Blocks accountable. That family owes us a LOT of money.
@newsguild.orgReposted by @jschleuss.comFantastic news!!! The Supreme Court declined to hear the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s appeal of a ruling requiring the company to pay back its workers for the cuts to pay, illegally implemented increases in health care costs & more. When we fight, we win!!! ✊✊✊

@newsguild.orgReposted by @jschleuss.comGREAT 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.
The legislation is a model for every other state and the federal gov.

That’s why I’m supporting @asmchrisward.bsky.social & @buffywicks.bsky.social’s #AB2222 offering tax incentives to local news outlets that hire qualifying journalists in CA. Every community deserves access to quality local news.

Tell McClatchy executives you won’t stand for this devastating choice for our community. Here's what to know:
@idahonewsguild.bsky.socialReposted by @jschleuss.comWe 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:
