.@seattletimes management has offered the union some protections around the use of AI — but only to reporters. Management still insists it needs the right to replace other @SeaTimesUnion workers with AI.

We all deserve AI protections — not just reporters. Tell @SeattleTimesCo that these critical journalists can't be replaced with AI by emailing publisher Ryan Blethen at rblethen@seattletimes.com.

YIKES: The Seattle Times rejected a union request to not replace workers with AI saying "Journalism doesn't mean journalists." instagram.com/p/DX7Tkxpj55K/…

We're back at the bargaining table, where @seattletimes management has rejected our proposal guaranteeing @SeaTimesUnion workers won't be replaced by AI. Management's position is inexcusable. We deserve a fair contract now — one with real job protections.

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.

📢 BREAKING: Our unit has officially delivered a strike pledge to @CascadePBSNews 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.

Our @PacNWGuild siblings @EverettGuild need our help! As Herald journalists fight for fair wages, management is offering a meager raise attached to an unreasonable daily story quota. Please tell management these hard-working journalists deserve better ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/st…

Congrats, @ancnewsguild! ✊
We did it! A majority of @adndotcom newsroom staff voted to unionize. The @nlrbgov counted our ballots today via Zoom after receiving a few mail-in ballots. This makes the ADN the only unionized newsroom in Alaska. Thank you for your support! #ADNunited

We asked Carpenter for the legal bare minimum — to bargain with us before imposing layoffs — and it took a 2-day strike to get there. But we’re back to work today doing what we love, and we’ll begin negotiations with the company on Friday. Let’s save some newsroom jobs!

"There is no product to leech off of without the journalists who go out and cover Snohomish County every day." Solidarity to @EverettGuild members on strike today! Don't cross the picket line.
Gooooood morning, @EverettHerald readers! Please support our strike by refusing to cross the picket line. Do not read or engage with @EverettHerald today. And if scab workers from Carpenter Media Group contact you, please decline to provide an interview. ✊✊✊
