Hi! Nice to meet you. We're digital producers with the Atlantic Digital Optimization Team (DOT), and we work with 37 Gannett outlets across 5 states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. You can also call us another name now: the Atlantic DOT Guild. [1/8]

We've raised over $12,000 for our Pittsburgh Post-Gazette strikers so far!!π
But we still have a ways to go before we reach our $50,000 goal. Any amount matters, use this link to donate: cwa.org/ppgholiday

Our journalists canβt afford to live in the communities they cover, because Gannett wonβt give raises or approve contracts that pay living wages. Invest in your journalists and invest in news, Gannett! @GannettUnion @nyguild

Like the rest of NJ, the Rutgers roots in our unit (and @GannettUnion) run deep. Many of us learned journalism from RU faculty, adjuncts and part-time lecturers like the ones with @ruaaup @ruaaup_ptl who are on strike right now. #RUonStrike

Okay, @northjersey. Though as a subscriber, I think today is also a great day to pay @melanieanzidei, @MegBurrow, @Colleenallreds and the rest of The Record staff more. | From the Editor: Now's a great time to subscribe to .NorthJersey.com northjersey.com/story/news/cβ¦

We LOVE to see another @Gannett shop walking out
Get it together, Gannett. Bargaining fairly and in good faith
17 Feb 2023
On this day in 2021, we unionized to fight for the future of quality journalism in the desert β but since then, @Gannett's proposals have shown little interest in that mission. That must change.
Today, on our 2nd birthday, we're walking out in demand of a fair contract ASAP.β

Itβs Valentineβs Day β but weβre brokenhearted.
In the 2 years since our contract with @Gannett expired, weβve lost more than 20 guild members.

A union isnβt a service you subscribe to.
A union is a decision to stand with your colleagues and fight to make your lives better.

THREAD: In July, @danny_logiudice asked for a well-deserved raise. He's not just a great local sports reporter, but his work is successful, according to Gannet's own metrics.
Danny's been working for APP & MCJ since 2015.
He makes $37,000 per year.

Roll call! Raise a fist if your unit was one of them β

NEW: Employers were charged with violating federal labor law in nearly 40% of union electionsβand those are just the ones we know about.
Using @NLRB data, we analyzed the charges, which include firings, retaliation, and changing work terms. epi.org/blog/fact-sheet-emplβ¦

βI solve problemsβ
An unofficial DOT motto, and a skillset Gannett is trying to throw away
26 Jan 2023
Life as a DOT producer: My outgoing supe thanked the night staff (including me) for doing a good job. He wold hear of some breaking news, hop on the system, and see that it was already taken care of. "I solve problems," I said. "I may not know the ins and outs of everything, 1/

Gannett is once again pulling the same nakedly anti-labor move it pulled on the @MidwestDOTGuild, laying off people in the midst of their union election
This company is afraid of its labor, and they couldnβt be handling it in a worse way. Solidarity forever, @ReviewedUnion β

This morning, Reviewed employees were blindsided by the unilateral announcement of yet another round of restructuring measures handed down by Gannett and our management.

When newsrooms say producers perform βDOT magic,β this thread is an example what they mean: Beyond our regular work, weβre the go-to problem solvers. And yet Gannett thinks weβre expendable because of basically one flawed metric?

Life as a DOT producer: Every so often, the programs we use at work get upgraded or changed. What happens is that stuff that was created under the old program / version gets lost or is unusable (we have very little photos dating back only 10 years, for example.) ( 1/

Iβm an editor at Gannett. This week, Iβm on mandatory furlough. That means anything I post here is from me and doesnβt represent my employer.
To wit: Companies should pay their employees what they agreed to pay them.

Mike, will you awake tomorrow, see the error of your ways and begin supporting community journalism? JK, we know youβre too busy counting your gold!
