The Austin NewsGuild won a ULP against Gannett when they tried to take away the match shortly after unionizing. I stand with the guild in their effort to retain the 2.5% match!
Austin NewsGuild@AustinNewsGuild
Guild members at the Austin American-Statesman have 2.5% 401(k) match from Gannett, which is 2.5% more than non-unionized papers currently get. @Gannett expects a ‘thank you’ for providing a 1% match for its employees in July, & it wants Statesman employees to accept the same — even though it’s 60% less than our current benefit.

"We know that Gannett needs us, whether or not it wants to admit it. More importantly, we know that Rochester needs us—but we need a contract."

Today, I sent a letter to the Journal News and parent company Gannett urging them to bargain in good faith and respect their workers. Workers' rights are protected by the National Labor Relations Act, and employers must fulfill their duty to bargain in accordance with the law.

Gannett is cutting its employees 401(k) match by 60% and expects a "thank you."
January 2020: Existing 5% match (it used to be 6%, pre-Gatehouse merger)
July 2020: paused
May 2021: 2.5%
October 2022: paused
July 2024: 1%.

What’s outrageous one of my colleagues who has worked here over 20 years doesn’t remember the last time he got a raise. THAT is NOT ACCEPTABLE

Zero quotes. Not a single “Rochesterian” mentioned by name. Reads like a tourism news release.
This isn’t reporting. @Gannett would like you do think otherwise. Give your real reporters a #faircontract.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Journalism matters. Your support has meant so much. See you Monday morning!
Newspaper Guild of Rochester@rocnewsguild
Seven days into our strike for fair pay and working conditions, we’re OVERWHELMED by the love from our community. $25K to keep us afloat. Countless visitors and fellow picketers. So many acts of solidarity. And we haven’t eaten so well in, well, ever.

@SenSchumer comes out strongly in support of a fair contract for Rochester D&C journalists @rocnewsguild.
“Local journalism is the glue that keeps our communities together… I urge @Gannett to negotiate in good faith with the union to reach a fair deal.”

I was hoping we wouldn't need these but it is growing more and more likely. Without a contract at midnight, we'll be on strike tomorrow. #roc #Rochester #rochesterny #faircontractnow

We appreciate all of the community support we've received from the people of #ROC this week!
