“We’ve asked EdSource management to simply help us understand what kind of protections those vendors like Slack and Google have that can help us with the Shield Law,” said Thomas Peele, investigative reporter at EdSource. “We just get no response to those matters."

“When we rally around our demands, when we insist on a real say in the work that we pour ourselves into every day, that’s not selfish, that’s about the integrity of journalism itself" —Annie Sciacca, president of the @PacMediaGuild, speaking at EdSource Guild's historic strike

A month ago, EdSource Guild went on strike to protest management's unilateral cuts to our health benefits and refusal to negotiate. We've won real gains since then — but management still hasn't responded meaningfully to proposals such as family leave or cost-of-living raises.

One theme of our rally was management's proposal on grievances and arbitration. We're pleased to announce that our pressure worked! We have a tentative agreement that's fair to employees and ensures the eventual contract is honored. Thank you all for your support!

It seems like every week another news organization rolls out an AI project and gets mass public backlash. EdSource needs a newsroom AI policy that ensures we can use new technology strategically while protecting our work from serious hazards.

We're holding a rally tomorrow, April 15, at noon Pacific to support our contract campaign! You can register to attend or watch on Instagram Live, Twitch, and other streaming platforms. We need your help to get a fair contract and we can't wait to see you there!

The journalists of @EdSource are excited to announce the formation of the EdSource Guild.
