A bold graphic reading “For Immediate Release: Post-Gazette journalists call on new owner to follow federal law, restore trust with Pittsburgh community.” Below, smaller text explains that the Venetoulis Institute, owner of the Baltimore Banner, has acquired the Pulitzer Prize–winning Pittsburgh Post-Gazette staff but plans job cuts. The lower half shows a man speaking into a microphone in front of a seated audience at a town hall.

We are excited for this historic institution to survive!

A lot is still unsettled and we will continue to support our members who are fighting to be paid back from the Block’s illegal behavior.

That liability does not go away with the sale of the paper.

Workers at ProPublica went on strike yesterday to send a message: it’s time for a fair contract!

Rich Quan worked remotely as a caregiver for 6 years, but is now being told to abandon his 96-year-old father, who is in an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s Disease, for…office culture?

This is corporate sadism disguised as policy. SHAME on @nytimes.com 👎

The State of The Times: Heartless. Red banner with NYT Tech Guild logo

Today, NYT celebrates their successes from the past year, but we are witnessing a major failure of leadership: @nytimes.com mgmt is denying one of our members, Rich Quan, permission to continue working remote, even as a certified caregiver for his 96-year-old father, who suffers from Alzheimer's.

Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Jackson.

I am heartbroken to hear the news of Rev. Hagler passing away. He was an incredible human being, a human rights activist, a fighter for justice for all people for income inequality, racial inequality.

I toured the Mid-Atlantic Carpenters’ Training Center and saw firsthand the work being done to train the next generation of skilled workers. DC is a union town, and our unions provide good wages, benefits, and pathways to the middle class.

Headline: Amazon’s tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act.’

Amazon got an 87% tax cut from Trump and Republicans last year.

That's billions of dollars in revenue lost for America.

And it's not even going to benefit us.

They just cut 16,000 jobs. All that money will be spent on CEO pay and stock buybacks for wealthy shareholders.

Scam.

We're highlighting reporting from @inthesetimes.com on the recent abduction of worker organizer and NewsGuild-CWA member, Eustaquio Orozco Verdusco.

We ask that you please sign the petition demanding his release:
