Local news is tough work, but it’s an invaluable resource for communities. These journalists deserve a fair contract.

We, the journalists of Hearst Connecticut Media, are forming a union.
We ask that Hearst voluntarily recognize our unit so we may begin negotiating a contract that benefits all parties, including our communities.

Alden is “siphoning out all the money off of the backs of all of these journalists who are living paycheck to paycheck… The corporate greed in media is out of control, and hedge funds are at the core of that corporate greed.”

Tribune Publishing workers have been bargaining for 5 years for a fair contract.
But Alden Global Capital refuses to pay workers what they’re worth. Enough is enough. we’re walking off the job.

Tribune journalists are striking today.
It is about race: Black & brown workers getting paid less than their white colleagues for the same - often times more - work is about race and it is NOT OKAY.
We want Alden to recognize that & to fix that. Pay us fairly.

We are here today because more than 200 Tribune publishing employees are walking out, an unprecedented action.
“Alden has proposed giving themselves the ability to cut our 401k… that amounts to a pay cut.” -@Mabuckley88

Today’s walkout is the single biggest collective action journalists have taken against Alden since it purchased Tribune Publishing in 2021.
Under Alden ownership, newspapers aren’t dying. They’re being killed off.
