This is shameful behavior. Freedom of the press is and always will be one of the most important American values, one that WBNG will always uphold. A sitting president disregarding the severity of violence against journalists is despicable.

Today we marched to engineering management's offices to deliver our unanswered questions about a tool the company is evaluating that would stack rank employees, violating status quo & disrespecting our union.
We won’t back down when they violate our rights and then ignore our concerns.

David Smith’s first order of business after purchasing The Baltimore Sun was to disparage the newspaper’s dedicated staff at an all-hands meeting.
Since then, his company has sought to silence any criticism from the union.
