Fantastic 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!!! ✊✊✊

A beautiful obit for Vin Cherwoo. I will never forget spending Christmas Eve together finalizing bargaining on the AP contract. He never complained how long the work took, he was always there to serve apnews.com/article/vin-cherw…

Vin and I started at the AP the same year. We worked together and grew up together at 50 Rock. This is so tragic and yet another gut punch for friends and former colleagues at AP Sports. RIP, Woo.

Wearing @PostGuild red today. I was able to challenge my @washingtonpost firing — and win reinstatement plus back pay — all thanks to being a part of the @WBNG32035 Guild. Binding Arbitration is a part of our contract. This is why unions matter!!!

I’m taking a lunch break with my @USATODAYCo comrades from across the the country to jointly call on our company to stop force-feeding AI on its workers, readers and the public. AI is bad for journalism and it’s bad for democracy. @newsguild

Today, AP News Media Guild members across the U.S. are sending emails to Executive Editor @JuliePace and CEO Daisy Veerasingham opposing the offshoring of 40 U.S. and U.K. jobs to India. This is a violation of our contract and demand this effort be stopped.

Excellent presentation from @apnewsguild on concerns over what is happening to @AP. An important U.S. and global news organization is transforming to a skeletal operation trying to cover news remotely off press releases and videos.

@APNewsGuildAug 13

AP is planning on laying off 30 video and photo production staffers on August 21 so the company can build a new hub in India. Let’s be clear: Offshoring is not expansion.

1/4 @AP has told some video and photo guild members in the U.S. that the last day for those affected by layoffs will be August 21. Meanwhile the company is actively hiring for these same jobs in India.

ALT On a red background with the AP News Guild Logo, white text reads: "Layoff updates. AP has told some video and photo guild members in the U.S. that the last day for those affected by layoffs will be August 21. Meanwhile the company is actively hiring for these same jobs in India.

ALT On a red background with the AP News Guild logo at the top of the page, white text reads, "Meanwhile over on likedin..." Then there is a screengrab of the union on Linkedin reposting Vice president of news and head of production, Derl McCrudden's post about the new video and photo positions in India. The union's comments read: "Derl cheekily forgot to mention that the AP is laying off dozens of producers across the U.S., LatAm and Europe to create this hub in India. Specifically in the U.S., the company is seeking to eliminate positions covered by the Guild in yet another attempt to take away good union jobs. The Associated Press is terminating legacy producers and skilled journalists to expand a new hub where they are "not looking for perfection." The company is sacrificing reliability to save pennies. These new jobs are breaking the hearts of AP journalists who dedicated decades of service in the name of independent news. Offshoring is not expanding."

AP wants to lay off 30 more U.S. journalists and move those roles to India. That’s after laying off or buying out nearly 150 U.S. staffers over the past two years.

When AP's work requires more care and experience than ever, why replace U.S. journalists?

ALT On a red background with the AP logo, white text reads: Offshoring does not equal expanding. AP is trying to replace entire talented, award winning teams in a misguided attempt to save money. At a time when U.S. news requires more care and experience than ever, why replace U.S. journalists?

ALT On a red background with the AP News Guild logo, white text reads: "We need your help. Tell AP to invest in the PEOPLE covering the stories that matter to you."
