We’ve been bargaining with @cascadepbs.bsky.social since they announced layoffs last week, fighting for more severance for our members as they head into a brutal journalism job market. So far the company has refused to offer more than a week of severance beyond their contractual requirement.

It’s difficult to find the words to express how our unit is feeling right now, but we’ll take a stab at it: shocked, disappointed, angry, gutted. @cascadepbs.bsky.social’s choice to eliminate long-form written reporting is a massive loss for our community in a critical moment. tinyurl.com/LayoffFund

We did it!!! Yesterday the unit voted unanimously to ratify a new contract that will immediately secure hardworking journalists at @cascadepbs.bsky.social an average raise of 6.76% and an average 18.3% wage increase over the course of the four-year contract.

Big news: After nine months of fighting for a #faircontract we’re happy to report that we reached a tentative agreement at the bargaining table with @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social today!! Now we will bring the proposed contract to the unit for a ratification vote.

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.

A meme of Jim from the Office pointing to a whiteboard that reads “If you can afford $2M in executive compensation you can afford to pay workers a living wage. Hope this helps!”

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)

🚨Unfair labor practice alert🚨 Over the weekend the union filed a ULP complaint against @cascadepbs.bsky.social for preventing us from passing out union literature in non-work spaces, which is a protected activity under the National Labor Relations Act. (1/4)

We delivered a petition to our management yesterday that included over 500 signatures of community members that support our efforts for a fair contract. We’ve been bargaining for eight months. The time is now.

Our CEO made $471,105 in 2023, nearly 7X the average Cascade PBS journalist’s salary. His 2023 bonus alone would have made him one of the highest paid workers in the newsroom today. Our union members are struggling to make ends meet. @cascadepbs agree to a #FairContract. Sign our petition. 🔗 in bio

Yesterday we used our lunch break for an informational picket while @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social was giving donors a tour of the building. We hope they can hear us loud and clear: We’re not going to stop until we get the #FairContract we deserve.

📢 BREAKING: Our unit has officially delivered a strike pledge to @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social leadership in response to their most recent unfair proposal. After 8 months of stalled bargaining, they’re still refusing fair wages and benefits. We’re not backing down.
