Six months into negotiations, McClatchy Media is continuing to push back against common sense limits on AI in news. If we don't ensure AI ethics are put in place now, it will soon be too late. If reporters don't fight for transparency for our readers, no one will.

🚨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.

We are excited! But as we bargain for better pay, protections + benefits, we hope they keep in mind who really "powers" the company: The people! ✊

We were back on the info picket line yesterday following a productive bargaining session with @cascadepbs.bsky.social. They finally heard us and are moving on wages — but not enough, considering they spent $2M on executive compensation in 2024.

Today we delivered a letter on ground rules for our upcoming union election to Jay Kennedy, head of labor relations at The Post. Given The Post’s disappointing decision to refuse to voluntarily recognize our union, we are asking them to agree to basic ground rules to ensure a free & fair election

We came to the table ready to make a deal during mediation on Wednesday. @cascadepbs.bsky.social came unprepared, unserious and totally unwilling to move. This is not what bargaining in good faith looks like. (1/4)
