READY TO WALK: Our members at six @Gannett newspapers in New York and New Jersey have had enough and voted by 95% to walk off the job. They are fed up with @Gannett disregard for labor law and refusal to agree to a fair contract after three long years of bargaining.

@maureendowd “ Trying to steal an election violates the Eighth Commandment.” In Catholic terms, I think you meant the Seventh Commandment - thou shalt not steal - rather than the Eighth - thou shall not commit adultery.

@MsAlphaMu When my mother died, I found the butter and ice cream tubs in her kitchen and the Tupperware in her shed. The thought that was her Depression-era upbringing, though!

I remember it like it was yesterday... I must have been about 7 or 8, and my mother told me to put the food away after dinner. I looked in the cabinet where the Tupperware was kept and grabbed the empty Country Crock tub. That was when I knew... #WhenITurnedBlack

Our joint statement with the company:

After five years, @rocnewsguild has a contract. Among supporters, I'd like to particularly thank @AcctProgressive and @HancockTerry, who faithfully joined us in picketing. @RGVALF_AFLCIO members and former Democrat and Chronicle staffers also joined in.

NEWS: This morning our members unanimously ratified a new two-year contract, our first since 2019. It comes after more than two years of negotiations with @nyguild and a 19-day strike in April, the first in our history. ✊✊✊

Friday will be quite a night in Rochester as #Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will pitch against the @RocRedWings in a rehab start. Here's my story on what's happening: democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/b… via @DandC

Solidarity for our colleagues over at News 8!! Rochester needs journalists ✊

This is how I spent my day yesterday, what a career! Don Alhart's last day at WHAM Channel 13: See the photos democratandchronicle.com/picture-galler… via @DandC

Three Section V teams will be battling for their first ever state championships in Softball today! LET’S GO! Class AAA: 11a Fairport 🏴‍☠️vs. Corning-Painted Post 🪶 Class B: 1:30p Wellsville 🦁vs. Schuylerville 🐴 Class C: 2p Bloomfield ✈️ vs. Berne-Knox-Westerlo 🦴

@PaulyGoogs Something to consider: usatoday.com/story/tech/col…

My wife asked me what I had for dinner at the party I attended last night and I said I had Rob’s Kabobs, chicken, with some sort of mango or pineapple bbq sauce. I never typed it, just said it out loud. Then I open Facebook and get this within 5 seconds of scrolling. Not ok.

Is there a print newspaper equivalent of hitting for the cycle? If so, ⁦@salmaiorana⁩ is pretty close here.

The @rocnewsguild is still fighting for a fair contract ⁦@Gannett⁩. (Photo taken yesterday between raindrops.) #roc #faircontractnow

Labor Author Hamilton Nolan will be joining us in Rochester for a discussion with Richard Bensinger from Starbucks Workers United about building a Labor Movement for the next generation. We hope you'll join us!

.@Gannett still has not reached an equitable agreement with the members of @rocnewsguild. I continue to urge a resolution that benefits workers, the community and the company.

Who's going to states? Section V sends 5 softball teams to the state tournament, from @MarquelSports democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/h… via @DandC

It’s a sign. #Henrietta #ROC

YOU KNOW WHY IM HERE Wellsville wins Class B FWR 5-0 over Fredonia to return to states. @NYSPHSAA @nys_softball @DandC

On Thursday, @WSJ ran this ad on A-4, showing the great @ailworth in her element: fireproof clothes & safety gear, ready to run toward danger for the story. Dogged and fearless. The same day, @DowJones laid her off. @ailworth would be perfect in any newsroom. Just look at her.

YOU KNOW WHY IM HERE CARA ORLANDO WALK OFF and Sutherland is headed to states 2-1 over Iroquois 8 innings what a finish @DandC @nys_softball @NYSPHSAA @nysswa
