BREAKING: We have a contract!!!!! Last night we ratified our first contract after more than two years of negotiations.
While the contract isn’t perfect, it’s a first step that guarantees us raises and job protections. Our bosses also agreed that no quotas will be tied to wages, a key piece of our contract fight.
“I support our local journalists at The Herald and share my unwavering support for a successful outcome to contract negotiations, especially in this new day where just the act of being a journalist is an act of bravery.” - Paula Rhyne, Everett City Council

Thank you to everyone who supported us at our picket yesterday! Your support lets our bosses know that the community has our back, not theirs.
