We're the largest union of journalists, media workers and activists in North America. We've been holding power to account and defending democracy since 1933.

Many of us met up last night at Barrio to celebrate our organizing efforts. (Check out the ADS/Tucson Citizen display behind us!) We've been inspired/revitalized by the outpouring of community support for our union and we're feeling more hopeful than ever about the Star's future!

Our first bargaining session after McClatchy laid off seven of our newsroom employees was disappointing to say the least. What will it take for McClatchy to pay us a living wage? #standwithstartelegramreporters

Last night we rallied outside the Schneps Media Queens Powerlist event to let attendees how unfairly management has been treating their employees.  We continue to ask Josh and Vicki Schneps to drop their bogus challenges to our colleagues’ union eligibility! #SchnepsUnion

7/ a strong future for this newsroom. If you care about journalism staying human-led, and believe that human journalists — not AI — should be at the center of the work they produce, comment and repost to show your support. #NewsNotSlop #NoSlopInOurShop (7/7)

Management refused to voluntarily recognize us even though EVERY union eligible person signed a union card. They said everyone needed the right to vote. Well, be careful what you wish for. We won our vote 15-0 and are officially the Daily Herald News Guild!!!

We 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)
