It’s official: We have a contract! . @appmcjguild members overwhelmingly approved our new contract with a 97% ratification vote and 92% turnout. We’re also thrilled that our comrades and strike vote siblings @hvnewsguild also ratified their contract today.

Solidarity forever with The Record Guild. Nearly a quarter of their members earn less than $40,000 annually — a poverty-level wage anywhere in New Jersey, let alone North Jersey. Gannett management should be ashamed that it’s come to this.

We hope this contract serves as inspiration for other Gannett workers to stop asking nicely and begin using their collective power to demand what they deserve. Solidarity forever!. @nyguild @newsguild @GannettUnion.

This is a historic moment for our newsrooms. We’ve won a contract that not only gives many of our members life-changing raises and job security provisions, but raises the floor for what’s possible in a Gannett newsroom.

We plan on ratifying our new contract (!) this week and celebrating this tremendous victory shortly thereafter. Thank you to our union comrades, media/journalism colleagues and, most importantly, our readers for having our backs throughout this fight. Solidarity forever!.

There are a lot of lessons we've learned in this 3.5-year fight, but here's the most important one: . Strikes work. On 2/24 we announced a 95% strike authorization vote among us and @hvnewsguild membership. We reached the framework of a deal 24 hours later, and HVNG on 2/26.

Under HR 9495, nonprofit newsrooms — many of them unionized, like @propublicaguild — could be targeted by future administrations looking to retaliate against their critics. This bill would have a chilling effect on the free press, and we urge @FrankPallone to vote NO.
