VTDigger wants to continue paying us an unlivable wage. It wants to cut its contribution to our health care premiums. It wants to gut our employment protections. All as leadership compensation has ballooned and our own ranks continue to shrink.

June is here—and we're heading back to the bargaining table today! We'll be countering an economics proposal that management passed last month which many of our members called insulting. And we'll be following up with some heat in the coming days. So watch this space!! 👀👀👀

We are beyond proud that @MyDesert produced such high caliber journalism in the most consequential year for news in recent memory. But, there's a problem. As @Gannett struggles to meet its own goals for corporate improvement, we're losing talent. https://t.co/BfgAaVytuf
