So united!! I love my colleagues and I love my union!
Today, members across different offices took lunch breaks together to show Hearst how united we are. The company can try to divide us, but it won’t work. 🐳

Looking forward to it!
On CT Politics Tv - Monday 8/12 My guest is Norwalk Hour reporter Kalleen Rose Ozanic. Hearst Connecticut Media Group reporters, editors, and photographers have announced their intent to form a union with NewsGuild-CWA. Inside Investigators’s hot shot new reporter Brandon Whiting reports, insideinvestigator.org/conne… Hearst said it has no intention at this time of recognizing their union. (As a union member, I don’t recognize that answer.) So we will find out what Kalleen, her brothers and sisters have to say about “getting a seat at the table”and Hearst refusing to recognizing their union. #ctpolitics #ctpoliticstv @KalleenRose @ctexaminer @brandon_cii @ct_investigator @EmiliaOtte @DanHaarColumns

Please take a moment to help local journalists and write a letter to Hearst mgmt showing your support for @ctnewsguild. It’s an honor to stand with my colleagues, who’ve worked tirelessly to make this happen. Reporters should afford to live in the communities they cover ✊🏻

Gov. Lamont once said he is “one of six pro-union guys in Greenwich.” Lamont & fellow Greenwich guy Jim Himes have both signaled support for Hearst Connecticut journalists’ unionization efforts. Lamont has a home in the mid-country while Himes lives in Cos Cob. Cc: @AndyBlye
Local media is the bedrock of our democracy, but too many staff struggle to make ends meet. I support the Hearst Connecticut staff’s advocacy for higher wages and better working conditions, and encourage all parties to enter good faith negotiations to address these issues.

I love this job. I've gone running to shootings with barely a thought for my own safety. I've cried hearing relatives describe seeing loved ones die behind a window from Covid. I'd do all that again. Any other job feels unthinkable. But, my colleagues and I deserve fair pay.
