We did it! Noisy Union won raises of at least 20 percent and a new wage floor of $70k. Bringing everyone up to $70k means a $15k raise for some of our members!

Joint statement from Noisy Creek and @NoisyUnion
Joint statement from Noisy Creek and the Noisy Union: Today, Friday, January 31st, Ashley Nerbovig and Hannah Krieg resigned from their roles at The Stranger. In partnership with Noisy Union, Noisy Creek undertook an internal investigation into alleged actions by both employees. While we did not substantiate the original allegations, Hannah and Ashley made the decision to resign. Both individuals are receiving severance and continued healthcare benefits. Noisy Creek and Noisy Union believe this is a fair outcome. We appreciate the tremendous dedication of Hannah and Ashley to reporting and journalism in our community and we support them in their future endeavors.

For the next few days, we’ll be sharing testimonials from former newsroom staff about why they left @CascadePBS. There are some common themes: low pay, substandard benefits, and lack of protections. #WhyILeftCascadePBS (1/2)

A white quote box on a dark red background reading: “When I took a job at a competing local outlet, my wage increased by more than 12%. It is clear Cascade PBS’s wages impact people’s abilities to stay and imagine a long-term future at the outlet — or even in journalism more broadly. Paying folks a livable wage isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s also the smart thing to do: It would help mitigate the loss of talent to competing outlets or even other industries.” - Former Cascade PBS Staff Reporter

Everett City Council president calls on Everett Herald management to work with @EverettGuild, give journalists a fair wage, and allow "the time and the effort to do in-depth reporting."

We appreciate Don Schwab saying this. Help put pressure on our bosses to work with us to get a fair contract👇

Take a minute to support the workers of the Everett Herald and send an email to the bosses telling them a $1 raise for an unreasonable quota of stories per day is unacceptable. actionnetwork.org/letters/st…

Our @PacNWGuild siblings @EverettGuild need our help! As Herald journalists fight for fair wages, management is offering a meager raise attached to an unreasonable daily story quota. Please tell management these hard-working journalists deserve better ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/st…

Stay tuned for ways to support @EverettGuild members. They deserve better than this.

Carpenter Media presented the NewsGuild with a new wage proposal today, the company's first in about six months. It is, frankly, insulting. Perhaps most egregious, the company proposed $1.00 an hour bonus for "meeting newsroom minimum standards of 2-3 bylines per day."

The post still includes many unsustainable claims -- did voters see her as a "public safety candidate," is that why she won, who is browbeating, why did candidates who did not moderate also beat Woo or win races this year?

The Everett NewsGuild is resuming bargaining today with our bosses, the first of two scheduled sessions. We’re hopeful to make progress on our contract today. The company has taken far, far too long with this, but we’re going to take it to the finish line.

We did it! A majority of @adndotcom newsroom staff voted to unionize. The @nlrbgov counted our ballots today via Zoom after receiving a few mail-in ballots. This makes the ADN the only unionized newsroom in Alaska. Thank you for your support! #ADNunited

Rich Smith is not really a boss. We were actively fighting to put him in the unit when they canned him

Okay who actually are ALL the owners in that Oily Creek or whatever the fuck shell company Brady fronts for? Starting to worry it's like Dave "I Only R*ped Some of My Accusers" Meinert and such
Rich Smith@richsssmith25 Oct 2024
After nine years of working at The Stranger 12 hrs a day six days a week, they let me go. I would die for my staff and my colleagues. I’m willing to do slightly less for other employers, but I’m open to work.
