Journalists at largest US newspaper chain set to strike

By Associated Press
June 2, 2023

Journalists across the U.S. will walk off their jobs next week at roughly two dozen newsrooms run by Gannett, the largest newspaper chain in the U.S., their union said Thursday.

The mostly one-day strike, which will start June 5, aims to protest Gannett’s leadership and cost-cutting measures imposed since its 2019 merger with GateHouse Media.

According to the NewsGuild, the union representing workers at more than 50 Gannett newsrooms, those measures include job cuts and the shuttering of dozens of newsrooms; squeezed pay and benefits; and a failure to negotiate pay and working conditions in good faith.

In a statement, Gannett Chief Communications Officer Lark-Marie Anton said the company “strives to provide competitive wages, benefits, and meaningful opportunities for all our valued employees.”

She added that “there will be no disruption to our content or ability to deliver trusted news” as a result of the expected work stoppage.

Oh noes!!!

Why stop at just one day?  Most of us would be far happier if you'd simply walk off and keep going, permanently.

Well, there's one thing you can count on with leftist. No understanding whatsoever of economics... They can use their words to bend reality in many ways - but it won't save their paycheck if too few buy their propaganda.

It's a type of cheap paper that used to be readily available for lining bird cages and wrapping fish.

Yup.  AI could also do their jobs with less bias, and for less cost, too.
