Hallelujah! After two years of bargaining, endless hours in planning meetings and at the bargaining table, we have a contract! We fought hard for this — all of our membership — and it worked. As we like to say in CWA (our parent union): When we fight, we win! – at Oakland, CA
Welcome to @newsguild and @pacmediaworkers!
We're glad to have you with us! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Big news! We, the staff of @CalMatters, are unionizing! We’re taking this step with 92% of staff in support. Here’s our mission statement.

.@IFlyOAKland is considering a name change that could add some element of SF Bay Area to the airport name, but it will not remove "Oakland," an official tells @ctuan sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…
Should Oakland International Airport change its name? Golden State International Airport? East of San Francisco International Airport? Oakland Coliseum International Airport?sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti… via @sfchronicle
The San Francisco archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church will likely file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Archbishop Salvatore Cordeleone said in a statement. The statement came in response to questions from The Chronicle. Story coming shortly.

I watched @PLOSUnion vote today to join @PacMediaGuild and @newsguild. The vote was thrilling even though it wasn’t even close. Welcome to the Guild! – at Berkeley, CA
Jet-lagged but ready to fight. After 5 days at @newsguild and @CWAUnion conventions, I’m back at the bargaining table with amazing @SFCGuild bargaining team. – at San Francisco, CA

Just re-upped my digital subscription to @sfchronicle. One year digital, for $69.99. It really is staggeringly inexpensive to support local journalism.

Congratulations to Claude Cummings Jr., who today will become the first Black president in CWA’s history! ✊
In a historic election, Claude Cummings Jr. was elected as president of CWA by delegates to the union’s 79th convention and Ameenah Salaam was elected Secretary-Treasurer.

.@PacMediaGuild member Sara Steffens @modernsara has been nominated as president of @CWAUnion. She’s opposed by two district vice presidents. We’re proud of you, Sara! Let’s hope the delegates vote wisely. #cwa23 @newsguild – at St Louis, MO
Sadly, Sara did not win the election. But we’re still proud of her and the work she did to improve @CWAUnion! Thanks, @modernsara – at St Louis, MO
A rough day for fans of the sports pages (print and online). @nytimes kills its sports page. @latimes eliminates box scores, game stories, standings. – at St Louis, MO
As members of @NYTimesGuild, we are baffled and infuriated by the Times proposal to dissolve our storied and award-winning Sports department. This announcement is a profound betrayal of our colleagues and of Times values.

NYT sent memo to staff today announcing it willl dissolve its sports desk to focus on sports coverage at the Athletic.
"As part of these changes, we will no longer have a freestanding Sports desk, and current Sports staff will transition to other desks around the newsroom."
