- Yesterday we escalated our push for a #fairAPcontract that keeps us strong. Hundreds of members took a short break to remind the company of our value. We know what weโre worth โ and itโs more than a 2% raise.
00:00 - Our @AP current salary minimum is $47,889. The company proposes *raising* it to $53,990. Yet ... - @DallasNewsGuild's salary floor: $55K - @NYTimesGuild: $65K - @SFCGuild: $73K Once again, you can't spell #cheAP without AP. But this takes it too far. #DoBetterAP
- Thank you to our Guild! @AP is withdrawing its proposal to eliminate overtime pay for employees assigned to international sporting events โ like the OLYMPICS โ because they heard your objections to the proposal. #UnionStrong
- .@AP gave us their wage proposal yesterday, and it's downright insulting. Amid record inflation + an economy teetering on the edge of a recession, the company offered us 2% raises. And then tried to sell it as a great deal. There's #cheAP, and then there's this. #DoBetterAP
- AP News Guild started bargaining with @AP management a year ago. We still don't have a contract. We are seeking higher pay, more parental leave + vacation benefits, stronger reproductive policies & more. We deserve better. #APNewsGuild #WeAreAP #fairAPcontract #UnionStrong
- .@AP is posting new positions that have salary ranges from $80-110K to work in any U.S. bureau. Great! We want our new hires to be paid equitably ... yet our own salaries are nowhere near those numbers. We demand a #fairAPcontract with meaningful raises to match these postings.
- Some journalists have expressed worry that artificial intelligence could eventually replace jobs done by humans and is a matter of keen interest, for example, in contract talks between @AP and its union, @NewsMediaGuild @APNewsGuild. apnews.com/article/artifiโฆ
- Contract talks between @AP and @APNewsGuild have paused. The company refuses to raise an insulting 2% wage offer to anything over an equally insulting 2.5%. We can't accept that. An overwhelming majority of union-covered AP journalists have signed petitions demanding fair wages.
- Happy Festivus! Gather round and hear how AP has disappointed us with an awful wage offer. #fairAPcontract
- We at AP News Guild stand with the hundreds of staffers at Gannett newspapers who will be walking out on the day of Gannett's annual meeting, protesting job cuts and calling for better leadership.Replying to @azrepublicguildThat is why we are walking out for 48 hours on Monday along with our Gannett union colleagues from across the country, and asking shareholders to vote NO on keeping Mike Reed as CEO. #GannettGreed
- Our folks in Washington took a well-deserved break as we fight for a fair contract. They joined members across the U.S. today in a collective action. It's a short pause compared to the nearly 18 months that we've been bargaining with AP. We keep the wire running. #UnionStrong
