@mandy_mclaren Congratulations on your past successes and the opportunities for more.

Today is my last day at The Courier Journal.
A new opportunity awaits, but I am overcome with sadness to be leaving my CJ family. For five years, they’ve both challenged and championed me, helping me launch a second career that I’ve come to find just as meaningful as my first.

@sanford_tim @CJNewsGuild I think it includes photogs too. Doesn't it?

Promises made, promises kept.
We are beyond thrilled to announce we overwhelmingly voted in favor of unionizing on a 22-4 vote.
We won.

@CJNewsGuild I hope this provides some protection in the bloody weeks ahead.

@StephenAtHome I'll give you $2 billion Musk Marks as soon as I fire up my printer.

I will support companies who refuse to advertise on Twitter because of recent Elon Musk ordered.
Duty To Warn 🔉@duty2warn
So, Musk threatens to go “thermonuclear” against companies who choose to stop advertising on Twitter with a “name and shame” campaign. Free speech morphing into fascism before my very eyes.

I'm very worried about Twitter's direction under Musk. I'm thinking about dropping but worry if that's the easy way out. Any thoughts on when it's right time to protest by quitting?

@cj_veda @YewDellGardens @courierjournal I heard y'all were going to lease office space. Nicer landscaping than Sixth and Broadway.

It’s not every day that you get to work in a castle. Thank you @YewDellGardens from @courierjournal!

@andrwfhenderson @courierjournal @CJNewsGuild @heraldleader That seems so gutless. Shame, shame, shame.

A tale of two op-eds on unionization efforts in KY:
One in the @courierjournal where someone seems to have removed mention of the @CJNewsGuild: bit.ly/3wQmQAw
And the other in the @heraldleader where the mention from the same writer lives on: bit.ly/3RvsJuF

As the kids might say, this says a lot about society. Also did someone at the CJ just think no one would notice because ostensibly people did, including the writer! twitter.com/GLCLCky/status…

Why would the section about our union family from @CJNewsGuild have been "deleted" from a story about unions on the rise in Louisville??????? What's up with that @Gannett From the comments section on the story below courier-journal.com/story/opinion/… @courierjournal @Gannett

@CJNewsGuild I'm guessing they are waiting for corporate to give them instructions on how to approach the situation.

Days without any sort of acknowledgment of the union from Courier Journal editors: 1.

Best of luck to my former co-workers. You have maintained an oasis of talented journalists is an ever growing desert.

~ some professional news ~ We, the journalists of The Louisville Courier Journal, are ✨unionizing.✨ We love our city and our newsroom and want both to be the best they can be. That can’t happen unless we have a seat at the table and our voices are fully heard. A thread 🧵
