We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

The Buffalo Newspaper Guild is proud to announce that its members at @TheBuffaloNews have ratified a new three-year contract with @LeeEntNews. We would like to thank the community for its support over the last five months of bargaining. buffaloguild.org/wp-content/…

.@Gannett has so far refused our requests to mediate the final issues for our first contract. Today, the @statesman news guild lunched out to call on the company to come to the table to mediate! #SaveOurStatesman

WE’RE WALKING OUT! ✊ After countless bargaining sessions that management has either delayed, pushed back, or shown up to the table empty-handed, WE’VE HAD ENOUGH! We’re taking a 2 & 1/2 day walk out to show management that we will not stand for their inadequate wage proposal!

.@Gannett still has not reached an equitable agreement with the members of @rocnewsguild. I continue to urge a resolution that benefits workers, the community and the company.

#ArtificialIntelligence simply cannot do what local journalists do. Yet @Gannett has backtracked on protections against #AI-driven layoffs.

Gannett’s rosy projections during its Q1 earnings call today left out the employees who are paying the price for its mismanagement – esp @rocnewsguild reporters who were on the verge of a contract before Gannett pulled a bait & switch. Full statement: newsguild.org/newsguild-cwa-…

The sun is shining on Rochester and these hardworking journalists. Tell @Gannett it’s wasted enough time underpaying its workers. We deserve a #faircontractnow.

Shamelessly piggybacking of my former colleague's tweet, here is a link to who is running and other particulars in Oneida County. uticaod.com/story/news/2023/…
Do you live in New York? Are you a registered for a political party? If so, you may have a primary election to vote in today. Not sure what you're voting on/where you're voting? Visit: voterlookup.elections.ny.gov…

Yesterday, I got to speak with the owner of The Balanced Chef in Rome about @FoodNetwork’s @Rest_Imposs episode, coming out in the spring. Personally, I would’ve been a MESS having my food criticized by @RobertIrvine himself, but Brian, took the feedback like a champ!
