if @mcclatchy won’t stop this bs, we’ll stop the newspaper.

We have overwhelmingly voted to go on STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with McClatchy Media and its five Pacific Northwest newspapers. Our demands are simple: Protections against AI and wages that keep up with inflation.

Idaho NewsGuild@IdahoNewsGuild·14 May

This work isn’t possible without us. But McClatchy would rather spend millions on AI then invest in the humans who won 53 awards, including for uncovering what happened after a raid on a local race track. Donate to our strike fund for fair wages bit.ly/pnwnewsstrike

Starbucks Workers United@SBWorkersUnited·23 Nis

Another big union difference: if a Starbucks store ever closes, only workers at union stores are able to bargain with the company over conditions around that closure. Seattle baristas recently won expanded severance, transfer opportunities, and insurance extensions!

McClatchy Media still refuses to offer journalists livable wages, despite nearly a year of bargaining. Our unions are ready to strike. Our communities deserve newspapers where talented reporters can afford to stay. But we need your help!⬇️

Tacoma News Tribune reporter Izzie Lund, 26, said she didn't leave her home for three weeks after an unexpected dental bill because she couldn't afford to put gas in her tank. "I was just trapped in my apartment," Lund said.

Visuals journalist Brian Hayes said saving enough for a home feels impossible on his income. He's watched colleagues leave the industry to be able to buy a place of their own. "I don't think any of us got into [journalism] to be rich, but I thought we'd make a living," he said.

BREAKING: Starbucks is closing stores (non-union & union) in Seattle. They told the public they would look to transfer impacted baristas to other stores. Instead, they’re doing the exact opposite. 👎 Now, workers across Seattle are walking out on ULP strike in solidarity!✊

"I don't think any of us got into [journalism] to be rich, but I thought we'd make a living," Hayes said. "It just feels like quicksand. You're making enough to be here, but you're slowly sinking. You're not able to save. You're not able to pay off your student loans, or even make payments on those. You're here until it's no longer financially feasible." actionnetwork.org/letters/5191b3…
