Connecticut News Guild
@ctnewsguild.bsky.social
A union representing more than 100 journalists within the Hearst Connecticut Media Group. Proud affiliate of @newsguild.org and @cwaunion.bsky.social
Hearst management continues to violate the law by changing our working conditions without bargaining.
Today, employees gathered for lunch at our different offices and asked a simple question of the company:
We’re ready to bargain. Why aren’t you?

Happy birthday to the Connecticut News Guild!
One year ago today, Hearst CT journalists announced we were forming a union.
Since then, we have withstood the company’s union-busting, won an election with 80% of the vote and become official NewsGuild of NY members.

“Our goal is simple: to agree to fair contracts so we can continue working hard to inform the communities we cover.”
Minutes ago, more than 290(!) Hearst journalists from across the country sent this letter to our bosses, demanding they treat us with the respect and dignity we deserve.
In CT that means dropping spurious appeals and respecting our rights as unionized employees.

Guess who’s officially certified as a union!
We’re ready to meet management at the table and begin bargaining our first contract.

I couldn’t advocate w/out them, our state government would be even less accountable, and as a fellow union member, unionizing is a key to a 💪 working class ✊

As 2024 comes to a close, one of the best events from a local news perspective was the formation of the CT News Guild ✊💪
Shamefully, Hearst still won’t recognize them, so I want to end the year by highlighting our local reporter’s great work. Advocacy wouldn’t be possible without it 🧵/

Hearst continues its storied history of passionate union busting!
First, "we won't voluntary recognize bc elections are democratic!"
Now, afraid of a loss, "we will challenge this election bc the NLRB disagreed w/ us!"
Chime in to support these really impressive local reporters in Connecticut!

Just days after we won a date for our union election, Hearst is again seeking to delay. They want to block us from voting and divide our unit along arbitrary lines.
