The pattern of cuts and disinvestment in local journalism by Lee Enterprises must end. The unionized newspapers of @LeeEntNews call on Lee to invest in local communities and in its print, digital and customer services for its own survival. Our statement: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

🧵 (1/8) Companies like @SoundPublishing are now required to post salary ranges in job postings thanks to a new pay transparency law. We’re grateful for the new law, but frustrated at the dismal starting wages and even lower pay for some existing @EverettHerald employees.

“To be here in a global pandemic … and members are telling us that they don’t have access to their insurance and that they don’t have insurance period — it’s frightening.” poynter.org/business-work/20…

We’re not doing resolutions, but we ARE winning a contract in 2022. While we finished 2021 working through the holidays, Alden Global Capital cashed in on endangering us — and all of you.
When we say the private equity firm is a public threat, this is what we mean.

We are calling on The McClatchy Company, owner of the Idaho Statesman, to commit to fair and equitable pay for its employees. Today, we’re talking about transparency in job ads. Support us over the next few weeks by sending a letter to management here: actionnetwork.org/letters/th…

One year ago this week, journalists across the four @mcclatchy-owned papers in Washington state, @TriCityHerald, @thenewstribune, @BhamHerald, @theolympian, announced our intent to unionize as the @WaNewsGuild! 🎉

Yesterday, 100 Tribune Publishing workers came to bargaining to fight the company on what we believe are illegal changes to healthcare plans. Our siblings at @CTGuild are carrying the fight further today!
If Trib is sick of hearing this message, they should stop sickening us.

'Horror is not too strong a word for how the news hit me. Alden Global, the most rapacious of the ownership groups currently wrecking local newspapers, wanted to buy my old paper, the Buffalo News.' - @Sulliview today, building into hope @LeeEntNews directors will stay strong.
Vulture capitalists are circling my old newspaper. This doesn’t have to have a tragic ending. … My new column about @TheBuffaloNews, Alden Global and the future of local journalism in many communities washingtonpost.com/media/202…

Shocker. Alden is vicious, malicious AND litigious.
Among their many sins, we already know they don’t pay their leases. Wonder if they pay their lawyers?

.@Sulliview, former @TheBuffaloNews editor, weighs in on the threat posed here and elsewhere by Alden Global Capital, which is still pursuing @LeeEntNews.
"When Alden buys a paper, the results are unfailingly negative for the community."

At my one-year review, my editor recommended me for a 10 cent raise. I had won several awards for the paper. My raise was denied.
Happy Tuesday, Longview. We need your help. We’re back at the bargaining table after @LeeEntNews gave us a shockingly inadequate wage proposal at last week’s session. Help us by reading on and signing this petition to company executives: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Starbucks has taken their union busting campaign to a new level for the next 3 Buffalo stores preparing for a union election. They changed their strategy from playing the ‘nice guy’ to waging psychological warfare on partners. Here’s what’s going on at the Depew location:

"The median household income is $44,957, but journalists – even those who have been with the paper for years – make $10,000 less than that." Disgraceful!

After @LeeEntNews touted their growth and value in rejecting Alden's purchase bid, it's time for the company to show their commitment to us by investing in the journalists who do the work!
