Yup, we got a deal! :)
Congrats to all who worked so hard on this effort, we're looking forward to what comes next.

For immediate release—Israel must protect journalists.
Gazan journalists are documenting events under unthinkable conditions and being killed at an unprecedented rate.
Support the Southern Illinoisan's staff by writing a letter (super easy) through this link! ✊

These folks unionized in May 2018, part of a wave of journalists unionizing at big and small newsrooms across North America. Join me in calling for the new owner to keep the staff and keep the contract or let another investor buy the paper!

Yesterday we escalated our push for a #fairAPcontract that keeps us strong. Hundreds of members took a short break to remind the company of our value. We know what we’re worth — and it’s more than a 2% raise.

Today we handed @EverettHerald's publisher our petition — signed by more than 550 people — calling on Sound Publishing to pay its journalists a living wage.
Here’s a sampling of the many comments those people submitted along with their signatures:

The @TVO_CMG strike would not have been successful without the support and encouragement of the broader labour movement. We will be forever grateful for your support. 💪🤓🙏 #ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike

We're thrilled to hear TVO workers are back at work providing high-quality journalism and educational content to Ontarians ✊✊✊
We're thrilled to announce that as of this morning, TVO CMG members are back at work after 11 weeks. A huge thank-you to everyone who supported us, here and elsewhere!
The strike may be over, but this account isn't going dark. Keep following for updates going forward.
ALT Baby polkaroo hops off the ground by a pile of hearts, tossing a few of them in the air like leaves. There is text reading "thank you!"
Ontario-based folks can sign this petition and call on Doug Ford's govt to grant binding arbitration since @tvo management refuses to offer its workers a fair deal.
Call for binding arbitration to end this 11-week strike!!!!
Binding arbitration is the fairest, fastest way to end our strike, now in its 11th week.
Ontarians, please consider signing our petition — and help end this strike today!

Not even these hands can grasp the measly 2% pay hike proposal from @AP that leaves me buried trying to catch up to inflation. @APNewsGuild
Can’t spell #cheAP without AP!

It’s official, Reviewed is on strike. No bargaining? No bargain hunting on Prime Day. This Prime Day, don’t cross the clicket line. Stand with our striking members and don’t click or share any Reviewed content today. #gannettgreed
National Observer Union retweeted
(2 of 2) DIGITAL PICKET LINE: During @reviewedunion’s work stoppage, don’t cross the digital picket line by clicking on @Reviewed content. Instead, show support for workers who deserve a fair contract. #GannettGreed #faircontractnow

A PRIME DAY TO WALK OUT (1 of 2): Instead of helping consumers with recommendations and reviews for #PrimeBigDealDays, the union at @reviewed has walked out, fed up with @Gannett’s stalling on bargaining and refusal to give overtime pay… #GannettGreed nyguild.org/post/breaking-ga…

Sure would love to be covering this kind of thing! Too bad @JlOrridge won’t offer a fair deal. Does he not want his organization to run properly, or does he not know how? He should check out some of the resources we made.

@tvo would rather spend $17 million into stocks than pay their workers for a fair deal. Shame!
Support @TVO_CMG workers!
Let TVO know you want a fair deal for workers on strike! Call 1-800-463-6886 or email asktvo[at]tvo.org

A very small fraction of the $𝟏𝟕 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 @tvo has stockpiled under @JlOrridge's leadership could have completely avoided the @TVO_CMG strike, now in its fifth week. Did you know about this @fordnation & @Sflecce? If not, read below: newswire.ca/news-releases/tv… #onpoli

#TVOTheThread spent a month on the fight for green space in Ontario. We examined why farmland in Greenbelt should be protected & why govts should act as stewards of public land. As hard as it is to sit on the sidelines @TVO_CMG strike, today's evident of why journalism matters.
"Until you're ready to present a significantly better offer, we will be on strike" -- @DanielKitts responds to @tvo mgmt's recent offer. Its apparently veryy similar to the previous one @TVO_CMG members soundly rejected. #FundTVOLikeItMatters
Sorry, @tvo, but I had to say something about your latest contract offer to @TVO_CMG. #onpoli #FundTVOLikeItMatters @JlOrridge @JenHinshelwood @MitchPatten1 @jferri
"I wonder if after 4 weeks [on strike] you thought we'd be worn down and would come crawling back," said Kitts. "People are angry ... an extra 0.25% a year is not going to cut it."
Solidarity with @TVO_CMG workers who are on week 5 of their strike and going strong ✊
You can support @TVO_CMG workers by donating to their strike fund. linktr.ee/tvo_cmg
Donations will help members with essentials like rent and groceries while @tvo mgmt continues their delay tactics in a *failed* attempt to wear down striking workers
xitter.cf/DanielKitts/status/170…
Please go to linktr.ee/tvo_cmg and look for the link where you can donate to the @TVO_CMG strike fund.
It will go to help members worried they don’t have enough money to pay for groceries or rent.
I explain in this video.
