Just got to meet two of the seven journalists who formed a union at the Centre Daily Times in State College, Pa.!! They’re joining the @phillynewsguild.bsky.social and will bargain for common sense AI guardrails to protect their local newsroom!

I’m excited to be at the Texas AFL-CIO COPE Convention to lift up @newsguild.org and @cwaunion.bsky.social members across Texas and North America. And of course I’m sitting in the press area taking notes.

Placard says “PRESS” with an audience watching Texas AFL-CIO President Leonard Aguilar give the opening speech at the convention.

And the parents of our local president. “If I had buttons on my shirt they’d all be popping off,” his mom said. “So many of these people here we didn’t know before and it’s just formed a really bonded family,” his dad said.

Bennett Goldstein and Rena Becker, of Squirrel Hill, parents of guild President Andrew Goldstein, embrace after their son returned to work at the Post-Gazette. “If I had buttons on my shirt they’d all be popping off,” said Becker of her excitement. “So many of these people here we didn’t know before and it’s just formed a really bonded family,” said Goldstein.

Here the strikers head up the elevator, back into a newsroom they walked out of 1,132 days before. In the center is our Stephen Karlinchak "Conan the Librarian" who brought a lot of wit and silliness to our strike. Stephen wrote about the strike 500 days in www.unionprogress.com/2024/03/01/c...

Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh members board the elevator to the newsroom together at the Post-Gazette, Nov. 24, on the North Shore. “We’re not here to destroy the Post-Gazette. We are here to rebuild it,” said guild President Andrew Goldstein. (Photo by Stephanie Strasburg/Pittsburgh’s Public Source)

And Andrew Goldstein, our local president of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh, smiling while he gave a speech before our strikers walked back in. “Our job is to seek truth, to hold power to account. Our job is to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted."

Dined at Pastis DC last night, where restaurant workers are unionizing! You gotta believe we were there supporting the workers! During dinner our server put out a fire caused by a nearby table. 🔥✊ These workers deserve a union! Starr Restaurants: stop union-busting! actionnetwork.org/petitions/dc...

Three people posed and smiling at Pastis DC while wearing stickers supporting workers who are unionizing at the restaurant.

A close up photo of a round red sticker that says "D.C. stands with Pastis workers! Union Yes!"

It’s bad when the CEO of a news company won’t talk to his own journalists. His days are truly numbered now. www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...
