Promises made, promises kept.
We are beyond thrilled to announce we overwhelmingly voted in favor of unionizing on a 22-4 vote.
We won.
We've experienced furloughs, layoffs and almost 30 journalists leave the CJ in the last 13 months. Coincidence? We think not!

Solidarity with all those affected by layoffs today.
We were informed today that the company is laying off around 7 percent of its workforce, and some of our members have been impacted.
We're furious at the way the company has approached these layoffs, and are currently discussing how to best serve those who just lost their jobs.

BREAKING: Trader Joe’s workers in Louisville are unionizing with @TraderJoesUnite.
It’s the first store in the South to join the Trader Joe’s union wave.
If they win, they’ll be the third-ever unionized Trader Joe’s, joining stores in Massachusetts and Minnesota.
We've let the most recent #Gannett layoff news simmer for a few days.
Guess what?
We’re still livid that @Gannett thought it would be wise to cut scores of journalists — particularly those in our sister guild, @MidwestDOTGuild.
For those in journalism, here's a list of open jobs. If you happen to be following us + hiring + don't see the listing in the thread, please add it.

We’ve fought 2 years for a fair contract.
McClatchy’s refusal to budge has forced our hand. It’s time to take further action.
