🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

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?

Journalism is a challenging but rewarding industry. This news today is the culmination of an incredible and exhausting journey. Very proud to be a member of the Connecticut News Guild.
We recently held a union election at Hearst Connecticut Media, and we learned minutes ago that…

WE WON!!!

By an overwhelming vote of 68-17, our members voted to unionize as part of @newsguild.org.

It’s a great day for journalism in CT!

West Haven city officials have gathered to watch a Municipal Accountability Review Board meeting live-streamed into a City Hall conference room, expecting to be released from state oversight. Some are holding confetti cannons. Feels more like a World Cup final match than a board meeting.

To be truly committed to fairness would mean to respect the results of an election.
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.

Please tell the company to stop obstructing and respect the results of the election. 👇

Just had the most stressful half hour chase with my cat to jam a pill down his throat meant to lower his stress. Now we’re both stressed but only one of us got a pill. Can’t wait to do this nine more times.
