The Austin NewsGuild is pleased to announce a tentative agreement with @Gannett. Thank you to the community for its ongoing support. We’re excited to continue doing what we do best: reporting the news.

Hello @Gannett, @statesman journalists are ready for mediation, the fairest way to close our contract after 3+ years of negotiation. #solidarity

.@Gannett, it’s time to agree to mediation with @statesman journalists. We want to close a contract that will create a sustainable newsroom for Central Texas. It’s time to end 3+ years of bargaining. #solidarity

The @statesman journalists have been negotiating their contract for 3+ years. It’s time for @Gannett to agree to mediation so we can close this contract fairly and get back to the business of news. #solidarity.

UPDATE: It’s the last day of our *four-day* ULP strike and @Gannett & @Statesman are STILL advertising our jobs online, attempting to lure journalists desperate for jobs into strikebreaking. The company should be ashamed of the time reporters have inevitably wasted on apps & the hopes they’re crushing.

.@gannett is trying to hire temporary workers to fill the jobs of striking Austin American-Statesman employees. Please stand in solidarity with @statesman journalists and don’t take these jobs. You can support us by not clicking on @statesman sites or donating to our strike fund: gofundme.com/f/ubcyf6-austin… #SaveOurStatesman

We are not working right now to get a fair contract for @statesman and @MyDesert colleagues

🦇We are on strike! We've been fighting for a fair contract for two years, but @Gannett keeps stalling. Enough is enough! Today, 100% of our union is walking out, along with hundreds of Gannett journalists around the country, who want a reasonable contract for our newsrooms.
