If it seems to you like there are fewer journalists covering Connecticut, you’re right. This week, those ranks grew thinner: Hearst CT unjustly fired a highly experienced reporter who was respected by his peers, sources and readers.

Since we won our union election in May, Hearst has refused to bargain with us, while repeatedly violating labor law. Last week, we filed four Unfair Labor Practice charges against the company 🧵

Hearst management continues to violate the law by changing our working conditions without bargaining. Today, employees gathered for lunch at our different offices and asked a simple question of the company: We’re ready to bargain. Why aren’t you?

West Haven city officials have gathered to watch a Municipal Accountability Review Board meeting live-streamed into a City Hall conference room, expecting to be released from state oversight. Some are holding confetti cannons. Feels more like a World Cup final match than a board meeting.

A group of people from municipal city departments sit in a meeting room with anticipation.

Just had the most stressful half hour chase with my cat to jam a pill down his throat meant to lower his stress. Now we’re both stressed but only one of us got a pill. Can’t wait to do this nine more times.
