1/4 @apnews.com has told some video and photo guild members in the U.S. that the last day for those affected by layoffs will be August 21. Meanwhile the company is actively hiring for these same jobs in India.
On a red background with the AP News Guild Logo, white text reads: "Layoff updates. AP has told some video and photo guild members in the U.S. that the last day for those affected by layoffs will be August 21.

Then there is a screengrab of the union on Linkedin reposting Vice president of news and head of production, Derl McCrudden's post about the new video and photo positions in India. 

The union's comments read: "Derl cheekily forgot to mention that the AP is laying off dozens of producers across the U.S., LatAm and Europe to create this hub in India. Specifically in the U.S., the company is seeking to eliminate positions covered by the Guild in yet another attempt to take away good union jobs. The Associated Press is terminating legacy producers and skilled journalists to expand a new hub where they are "not looking for perfection." The company is sacrificing reliability to save pennies. These new jobs are breaking the hearts of AP journalists who dedicated decades of service in the name of independent news. Offshoring is not expanding."

AP wants to lay off 30 more U.S. journalists and move those roles to India. That’s after laying off or buying out nearly 150 U.S. staffers over the past two years.
On a red background with the AP News Guild Logo, white text reads:
"AP Layoffs... AGAIN! Over the past two years, The Associated Press has bought out or laid of nearly 150 of its U.S. journalists. Now AP wants to lay off 30 more from U.S. staff and move those jobs to India."On a red background with the AP News Guild Logo, white text reads:
On June 30 AP announced their plan to “develop a centralized global hub in India to increase the size of our production staff” for video and photos. The Guild was told that the company seeks to ELIMINATE 30 JOBS in the U.S.

AP's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation is the kind of work executive editor Julie Pace says “highlights the unique strengths of AP’s global, multiformat newsroom.” But those strengths are being hacked away as management leaves U.S. staffers in the dark on impending layoffs.

1/3 Today, 40 Associated Press guild-covered employees across the U.S. who accepted buyouts left the newsroom for the final time. We’ve been told layoffs will be coming, with no clear timeline. In solidarity, our members in office, at home, and in the field wore their union red today.

1/3 “News doesn’t reveal itself from a distance. It has to be witnessed.” AP Executive Editor Julie Pace affirmed the importance of “eyewitness journalism,” while AP is offering buyouts to more than 120 U.S. guild covered employees across multiple formats. How can AP be on the ground without us?
The whole page is a red background with a white border. The top has the logo for AP News Guild. 
Below the logo with white lettering, text reads:
“News doesn’t reveal itself from a distance. It has to be witnessed.” -Julie Pace, Associated Press Executive Editor. 
Then there is a white bar through the page. Below that white text reads: AP Executive Editor Julie Pace affirmed the importance of “being on the ground” and “eyewitness journalism,” at this year’s Overseas Press Club Awards, all while AP guts its news staff by offering buyouts to more than 120 U.S. guild covered employees across multiple formats. How can AP be on the ground without us? Who will witness the news?

Yesterday, our members in New York, D.C., Chicago and across the country walked out to demand a fair contract. We deserve job security. We deserve to know AI won’t be used to replace us. We know that @propublica.org can and must do better.

⏰ IT'S TIME TO PASS THE PRESS ACT! The U.S. Senate has a chance to pass the bi-partisan PRESS Act which would protect against future administrations intimidating whistleblowers and journalists and increase protections already provided in the First Amendment. CALL your senator: bit.ly/PassPressAct
