This is important to my fellow journalists. xitter.cf/PacNWGuild/status/1934…
The PNWNG wants to remind journalists of the need to take precautions while covering protests unfolding in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Journalists have already been targeted with rubber bullets and tear gas. Your safety comes first. Here are some resources: 🧵

We have heard a lot about how @mcclatchy loves it's journalists. But unless they pay fairly then it's just words. Do better. We are the ones who make sure you have news to print. It's time for @mcclatchy to bargain fair with @OneHeraldGuild.
UPDATE: Two months into bargaining for our 2nd contract, our hedge fund owners @McClatchy are holding healthcare hostage and refusing to invest in our journalism. We now have less than a month to come to a full contract agreement, or our members face steep healthcare increases.

This is a disturbing turn. We can only hope that management would stop trying to make their employees' lives actively worse. @WaNewsGuild @OneHeraldGuild @MLKLabor @IdahoNewsGuild
BREAKING: Our hedge fund owners @McClatchy are up to their old tricks at the bargaining table. Their latest move: holding healthcare hostage for union members at the @MiamiHerald, @elnuevoherald and @BradentonHerald.

Each time a community loses its journalists, we all should notice.
If you were horrified by the move by management at the @EverettHerald to lay off more than half of the newsroom, including 10 @EverettGuild members, pls send a letter of support to the newspaper. See 🧵and please spread the word to your friends and family in Snohomish County

For the 2nd time this month, @mcclatchy and the @IdahoStatesman failed to pay their employees on time. McClatchy has an obligation to bargain with its workers over changes in working conditions. It has failed to meet this basic legal requirement, and we will not stand for it.

Reference the previous post: @WSDOT_East is on scene with their sweeper attempting to clean up the steel shards as fast as possible. Left lane is still open southbound. The truck that lost the load stopped and is currently being inspected by our CVD Officer.
