Connecticut News Guild

A union representing more than 100 journalists within the Hearst Connecticut Media Group. Proud affiliate of @newsguild.org and @cwaunion.bsky.social
Our message for the company is simple:

We have a right to bargain. Drop your appeals and come to the table!

ULP No. 4: Increased health insurance premiums

Hearst unilaterally increased our premiums — effectively a pay cut — without bargaining first.

ULP No. 3: Change in working conditions

Hearst drastically changed working conditions for numerous employees — such as by requiring formerly remote reporters to work out of offices far from the communities they cover — without bargaining first.

ULP No. 2: Retaliation

Hearst fired an editor who vocally supported our union.

ULP No. 1: Failure to bargain

It’s been more than six months, and Hearst has refused to set bargaining dates, saying they won’t do so until their spurious attempts to invalidate our election are resolved.

And of course, we’re not done yet.

We’ve joined with our unionized colleagues in Albany, Austin, Dallas and San Francisco to demand the respect we deserve.

We’ll fight for as long as it takes for Hearst to come to the table and bargain a fair contract!

Wow, thank you for sharing. We appreciate your support… and your grandfather’s courage!
