The Arizona Daily Star’s journalists are proud to be unionizing with @CWAUnion @newsguild 📰✊ Today, we delivered our mission statement and request for voluntary recognition to newsroom leadership and our parent company, USA Today Co.

Actions speak louder than words. This @Poynter story about @LeeEntNews job cuts and leadership is a study in disappointment. poynter.org/business-work/20…

In celebration of Labor Day, members of the Kenosha-Racine News Guild enjoyed a day of solidarity at the Kenosha AFL-CIO’s Laborfest at Pennoyer Park. We connected with area unions, community members and officials about the importance of organized labor.
The Kenosha-Racine News Guild is still bargaining for a contract that includes fair pay and job protection from artificial intelligence overreach.
Please send a letter supporting us our owner Lee Enterprises. It takes about 90 seconds to do.

The @RacineNewsGuild is looking for help. As noted: "To stay financially afloat, several journalists are working second jobs, keeping their heat off during freezing Wisconsin winters, and one is driving a totaled car." Please send a message about fair pay: actionnetwork.org/letters/ke…

State legislators Rep. Ben DeSmidt, @StateRepTip and Sen. Bob Wirch recognize that reporters should make fair wages and have job protections from artificial intelligence. We urge Lee Enterprises to come to the table with a fair offer so we can reach a contract.

Today, Kenosha-Racine News Guild members presented our petition, which has more than 260 signatures, to local management to demand a fair contract. Read more below:

Professional journalists shouldn't have to struggle to pay for heat and food, but at @LeeEntNews papers in Wisconsin, that's what's happening. Pls. read this and consider signing their petition.

LeRoy Butler is a joy-filled treasure. He's so open about himself and his past struggles. He's pro-therapy and has been going to therapy for a decade — "If you don’t have mental health, you can’t have mental wealth" he told students in Racine Wednesday.
