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

We’ve been bargaining with Cascade PBS 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.

Instead, CPBS is happy to save $ without cutting a dime of executive salaries. We’ve heard from lots of community members outraged that their donations are going to a $500K CEO paycheck. If you are too, please let the bosses know: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

Monday was a dark day for local news. But we can weather dark times when we fight together. And we’re going to fight like hell over the next few weeks to get these journalists what they deserve from @CascadePBSNews. tinyurl.com/LayoffFund

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

Our lowest-paid members were making less than $64K, and at ratification no one in the unit will be making less than $70K. We also secured additional PTO, doubled severance and stronger worker protections that will make a tangible difference in our members’ lives.

This contract, which was the product of a tough, drawn out fight, wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless support of our community. To everyone who has shown up for us these past 9 months, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. When we fight together, we win.
