Too tough to die

https://nydnunion.com/
WE HAVE A DEAL: We are happy to share that all of our hard work - and with the support of the people of New York - we have a tentative agreement on our first contract with Alden Global Capital

“These reporters are still kicking ass and taking names,” said Bob Liff, former City Hall and Brooklyn bureau reporter for the Daily News.
“This is the hometown paper. This is the soul of the city. We need that.”

You won't see it in the pages of the Daily News tomorrow (though we did pitch the story!) but the City Council just passed the Too Tough To Die resolution, supporting the unionized reporters, photographers and editors of the Daily News in our fight for a fair contract from Alden Global Capital

The @nypressclub.bsky.social stands with the Daily News, demanding a fair contract and investment in the paper from Alden managing director Heath Freeman.

JOIN US TOMORROW: At noon Wednesday, City Hall Park, we’ll be rallying to support our “Too Tough to Die” resolution. The measure will be up for a vote at @council.nyc.gov’s stated meeting. All are invited - let’s show @nydailynews.com owner Alden Global Capital that NY stands with us.

What will this person be expected to do for an hourly wage of between $29.48 and $30.77?

The Daily News Union's Michael Sheridan and Theresa Braine are on @wbai.org right now, talking about our 3+ year fight for a fair contract.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: Why were we, a newspaper union, outside a Brooklyn pilates studio recently, sharing our fight for a fair contract? Watch our new video about the family behind SLT Studios.

THE HUNT FOR HEATH: Tonight we’re outside a Brooklyn pilates studio passing out flyers about our contract fight. Why? Because these studios are bank-rolled by Alden Global Capital’s Heath Freeman and owned by his sister.

“My colleagues and I are a skeleton crew,” @simko-bednarski.bsky.social says
September 29, 2025 at 5:12 PM
“For more than three years we have been fighting for nothing more than a fair contract,” @michaelsheridan.bsky.social tells the Council
September 29, 2025 at 5:03 PM
President of @nyguild.bsky.social @susandecarava.bsky.social blasted Heath Freeman and his Alden Capital vultures
September 29, 2025 at 4:58 PM
We know New York supports us - we saw it at our Defend the Daily News Rally - and we continue to see it as more than a 1,000 have signed our petition, online & in-person.

HEARING SET: Our “Too Tough to Die” resolution, introduced last month by @cndelarosa.bsky.social, is scheduled for a hearing at City Council on Sept. 29. It calls out @nydailynews.com owner Alden Global Capital for its predatory practices and for refusing to agree to a fair contact with us…

GIVE US LIBERTY: Did you know that the @nydailynews.com has no full-time reporter covering the NY Liberty? We are out at tonight’s game to let fans know – and ask for their support in our fight for a fair contract. Because just like @wnba.com players, we deserve fair pay!
September 9, 2025 at 10:18 PM
In Spike Lee’s new movie #Highest2Lowest, he could have picked any NY paper but he chose the @nydailynews.com. He’s recognizing our value – and we deserve living wages and a fair contract. Without us, there is no @nydailynews.com
September 8, 2025 at 4:42 PM
. @realmichaelkay.bsky.social who once worked at @nydailynews.com, asked @antwanstaley.bsky.social why we were outside a @yankees.com game recently. “We want people to know and understand what’s going on.”
September 4, 2025 at 3:35 PM
A HOME RUN: @yankees.com fans loved our special baseball cards. We passed out hundreds of them at Sunday’s game to spread awareness about how @nydailynews.com owner Alden Global Capital has slashed sports staff since it acquired New York’s Hometown Paper. Watch our video:
August 28, 2025 at 4:21 PM
Alden expects seven writers to cover Gotham’s 13 teams. That means no hockey coverage, no full-time sports columnist and ZERO coverage of women’s sports, including 2024 WNBA champion New York Liberty
August 25, 2025 at 5:07 PM
ON OUR TEAM: @Yankees fans signed our petition last night because they know how important coverage of their favorite team is. Execs at @NYDailyNews owner Alden Global Capital - on the other hand – are more interested in lining their pockets….
August 25, 2025 at 5:07 PM
Alden refuses to play ball with us at the bargaining table and agree to a fair contract with LIVING wages
August 24, 2025 at 10:22 PM
PLAY BALL: We are out at @Yankees Stadium tonight to spread awareness about how @NYDailyNews owner Alden Global Capital has slashed sports staff since it acquired New York’s Hometown Paper…
August 24, 2025 at 10:22 PM
THE HUNT FOR HEATH: We took our contract fight to Montauk, home of the notorious head of @nydailynews.com owner Alden Global Capital, Heath Freeman, spreading the word about Freeman’s union-busting and destruction of New York’s Hometown Paper.
