    We just filed a discrimination grievance against The Philadelphia Inquirer. One of our Black members is paid less than a less-experienced white colleague who is performing the same job. We've tried for months to get the company to correct this. The Inquirer has refused to do so.

    We are disgusted and enraged to report that The Inquirer has laid off 5 of our members today. This is the bulletin we sent to our members a short time ago:

    It is particularly disturbing that the Guild is forced to take this action only days after The Inquirer published a detailed account of the newspaper’s history as a racist institution and its current efforts at so-called reckoning to change an entrenched culture of racism.

    Specifically, The Guild is exercising its authority under our collective bargaining agreement to file a grievance against The Inquirer for violation of Article 2, which prohibits discrimination against our members.

    The @PhillyInquirer today announced it is opening a round of buyouts in an effort to cut 10 percent of the company. If they don’t reach their target, management told us, they will lay people off. This is a devastating result of continued mismanagement and poor leadership.

    That’s right: We do this work because we love our region. But we can’t survive on love. It doesn’t pay the bills. Our members haven’t received a raise in 11 years, all while the cost of living has continued to increase. Love isn’t enough. It’s time for a raise.

    All of us — our reporters, editors, salespeople, pressmen, drivers and digital technologists — answer to no one but you, the people. We do this work because we love our region. Here's an update from our publisher on where we're headed in 2019 and beyond. trib.al/Wkr6WHX

    Today, we asked @NLRB to re-open an unfair labor practice investigation into the Inquirer’s (@phillydotcom) parent company, Philadelphia Media Network. It’s based on newly obtained information that leads us to believe the company lied to us during contract negotiations in 2015.

    🚨We will not go quietly. 🚨 We sent a letter to the Philadelphia Media Network’s board of directors to notify them of our current situation where our publisher Terry Egger has refused to bargain with us in good faith during our wage reopener. Let's break down our situation👇

    We wish publisher Lisa Hughes' actions spoke louder than her carefully penned apology Wednesday to Philadelphia’s Black residents and communities and to The Inquirer’s Black journalists, past and present.

    We’ve been in bargaining for months at @PhillyInquirer, fighting for a fair, strong contract that includes raises for everyone, new provisions on diversity, and protections for our work.

    We just filed a second discrimination grievance against The Philadelphia Inquirer. Another Black member is paid considerably less than white colleagues with less experience performing similar jobs.
